mo78 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Is there a way to be able to use the usb port on the packet squirrel with a usb wifi dongle ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0N3z Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 No I don't think so. the usb port is for storage devices only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uintdev Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) With a firmware update, it's technically possible. Although there might be limitations (i.e. storage being too small to install the appropriate kernel module(s)). Even if it was 100% possible to add such support without issues, would those who are developing for the Packet Bunny find it to be worth adding in for this specific product when it's mainly for USB mass storage?

mo78 Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 It would be a shame as I am looking for an implementation of 802.1X/NAC bypass feature with the ability to use the usb port for networking (either a wifi or Ethernet dongle). I read in another thread that the option of 802.1X/NAC security bypass is being considered so I am hoping that the option of using the usb port for networking is feasible.

LGee Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 My prime interest in the squirrel was to implement a air-gap exfiltrator, by attaching a 4G USB modem to the USB port. I hope there will be some workaround some day that could include a driver, even if I have to use extra USB storage somehow or anything else...

yeeeeps Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Hello, Do you know if 4g dongle support has been added in the latest firmware releases ? Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Could work if you use a 4G adapter that doesn't need usb_modeswitch (since it can't be installed on the Squirrel without issues) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
