...you can use USB adapters if they have Raspberry PI (Linux for ARM6) drivers.
This adapter is the same as the Belkin F5D7050 v4.
sudo apt-get install firmware-zd1211
I found there are two settings that have to be changed as either one of them will blank the screen in ten minutes under the default settings.
set screen saver timeout to zero:
xset s 0
and set dpms (EnergyStar) to disabled:
xset -dpms
This way I haven't needed to install anything (no screensaver). It was confusing because I'd tried both items, but it wasn't until I learned they both were blanking the screen at ten minutes that I saw what was going on.
As this has tested out OK, the next step for me is to put them into an autostart routine.
ps Verify your settings with
xset q

Looks like the Ralink firmware isn't the right thing for this hardware. Running a different command, lsusb, I see [Zydas ZD12118] at the end of the line for the Belkin Components, so I'm going to try installing the zd1211 firmware, which is actually the same one mentioned on page 56 in the book I got.Code: [Select]sudo apt-get install firmware-zd1211
