USB wifi

04 Feb 2012

I currently have a sparkfun bluetooth module connecting my mbed to my computer, however I am looking at the possibility of increasing the range and switching it over to wifi. I have found a cheep and small Rosewill adapter on newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166052). I am wondering if anyone has tried to get this or a similar adapter working using mbed as a usb host.

I am also wondering how hard it would be to get this working for someone who have never worked with the usb protocol before.
