thesugarat Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 This question goes out to Darren and the Pineapple Team.... I seem to remember a mention when the Mark 5 first came out that there would be a USB to Ethernet adapter that would be supported. This would essentially give us two Eth ports again and I'd kinda like to do that... But, I haven't heard anything about this topic since then. Are there dongles that are natively supported? Will the Hakshop sell one in the future? Maybe I've missed something and everyone know this works... Thanks, thesugarat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m40295 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I could check if mine works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 We support most generic ones. As long as they use cdc-ether you are all good. Best Regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesugarat Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Great... I've got a Linksys one I tried in the past but it didn't work. Is this supposed to be plug and play ready or do I need to install packages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry99705 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Barry, You've known this all along and been using it or just tested out what you had on hand? Just tested what I had. Somewhere I have a linksys one, but it's probably the same one you have. Goofy little door flip out for the cable that won't hold the cable longer than it takes to turn the laptop around to use?

Sebkinne Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Well, cdc-ether is pretty much the most standard USB to ethernet you can find. I have a few different ones: a lenovo one, a macbook one, some no-name one off of amazon, etc. They all work without a problem.

fringes Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Ok, I reached into my bag to see what I had and pulled out a piece of unbranded Chinese junk. I edited /etc/config/network adding: config interface lan2 option ifname eth1 option proto dhcp Then I plugged the adapter in to the pineapple and connected it to the router, plugged in my pineapple, and it got an address and worked! The only info I have on this is Model No: KY-LAN772BL Are there any plans to update the Network infusion to help with this? I sure wish the MkV had two USB ports, I had to unplug my shiny new Alfa to test this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 We're going to have an option to switch between DHCP and Static on eth0 with a DIP or other function from the network tile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
