Customer Review

I bought this drive for a Raspberry Pi. Works well, except for a hook. If you want to operate the Raspberry as an access point, this connection is not the first choice. This Stick transmits a Realtek RT8188CU WLAN chip, which is not supported by hostapd (the Access Point Daemon) under Raspbian. hostapd expects a Ralink chip. Fortunately, someone has made the effort and wrote a Rt8188-hostapd which has to be compiled manually via scripts on the RP. Who is not at home on the text console, and want to run the Raspberry as AP, should a Ralink-based WLAN stick grip.

Actually doing the thing what it is. An advantage is the small size, which does not like ice cream can look at the stem the Raspberry with housing. So everything fits into the pocket without which "crack" makes.
