I've tried about 15 tiny distros. I was only able to get the wifi working with 1 of them. And that distro was too big to fit on the flash media in the TC.
Ha, these costs ~$350 I could have done this and more with a Raspberry Pi
This is a rollout of new equipment for our new inventory system. All these things need to do is launch a Citirix Receiver. They can do it with a wire, but I'm not running wire to 50 machines spread over God's creation!
I dunno. But I cracked one open and they appear to accept a wifi card like a laptop. I have a handful of those at home so I'm going to test tonight. I am getting them all in a row and powered on so I can image them once I get this sorted out.
Basically you need the driver and the firmware. Then you can either compile a new kernel with the driver included (but you'd have to recompile your own kernel every time it's updated) or compile a kernel module for the driver (still probably need redoing for each new kernel but less hassle).
I'd go with a more up-to-date distro than Ubuntu for this. Ubuntu's kernels are very old. Something like Fedora might give you a better chance of the problem being solvable via a third party repo.
Ubuntus kernels are numbered 'old', but most cutting edge stuff is/will soon be backported. In my experience, you stand a far better chance of getting obscure -ish stuff in Ubuntu (often through debian repos) than you do in Fedora. And I prefer and use Fedora as my main distro.
Also I do not advise using latest Fedora release in production anyway (and neither do the Fedora folks!). Better use RHEL/clone or Ubuntu.
I can't really do any of that. These images are HP images and I'm just fucking around in their world. The only way I can get around that is by finding a distro that will fit on a 1Gb flash and support the wifi card, our printers and run the Citrix receiver.
