bump.. Any news on when the wifi enabled version will be available?
I’ve got a handful of niche projects I would love to suggest the bug for (just needs the wifi availability).

It’s been almost a year since this post. Is the new base shipping?

h yes, i think i read something about someone trying to get that working in the developer series of openmoko phones, so that those could get wifi (at the expense of memory i guess).

Will the final production version be able to use its Wifi interface in access point mode, and not just in a client or ad-hoc network mode?

I’d like to think I could use the bug as a mobile network gateway for other devices (comparable to the cradepoint mobile routers).

What ? Madwifi drivers for atheros chips have been out for YEARS and working successfully for a long time now. You should contact ubnt.com folks as they make a plethora of wireless, wifi and otherwise which many use the madwifi drivers!

I disagree with the post about the power output, with a unit this small you probably wouldn’t be wanting to push a full 600mw that many modern wifi mpci cards can do these days. A common EIRP for 2.4 in most countries is 36db which is above that 600mw. Remember, 1000mw (1 Watt) is about 30db. You could totally do a wifi module

Even better than the Asus 330G is the D-Link DWL-G730AP — it can be powered via the included USB power cable.

I gotten stuck many times looking for a cheep wireless solution. I found the Asus 330G works great. Once setup on a PC it connects to the 10/1000 port of any computer and acts line a wireless bridge.

it cost about $70.00
