Sorry, likely not. It is an early SDW-821 and has a MediaTek chipset for which no driver is known: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Spectec_SDW-821_%28MediaTek%29 For SDW-821 (SD size) and KS7010, you'd need a "S2Y-WLAN-11G-K" (but I have never seen one yet): https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Spectec_SDW-821_%28KeyStream%29 One can find an SDW-823 (microSD) "S2Y-MWLAN-11B-G" once in a while: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Spectec_SDW-823 > > Without the CFG80211 conversion, replacing the Michael custom > > implementation with the in-kernel one makes the driver a tad better and > > is good exercise.

Oh, and test that it works. Yes, have a look around and check if you like that task. I might have a spare SDW-823 lying around if you are up to it. But check first, it is not a trivial task. On the pro side, there are tons of interesting things about WiFI and kernel development to learn on the way :) Regards, Wolfram --+HP7ph2BbKc20aGI Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJY3jKOAAoJEBQN5MwUoCm2vAkP+wYVu/MGytxeKRzkF0p+S5yG 3MKWsO+t1MlANXlcUH1ZQuSzTpcitSBnDoxttvkRQxQghRYYXu+hLf08NUop17ir WGqofNyQN6UQXGw+Z1SSIB57BJVP/aZM3cXWcwNKPL7bTcU8WCsWq4Y62aZ1ibjG 46jDhe8D+b2JsSwwf1fNoi2qYk14JuL8ZOUjW2q0vQsDZOip6N9iV1MihXfM7ecL D3NHg0YMNamOk7i1M3hQvo7XZQ/Wm8EEZ79mCSUTxUMsawR4vIGE0zwpITz8XCPQ 383H8Tn2GawakWYs5lTD9qm7IG3S3PUeBGl1MX4cJTD7fb6G0/bgEJUSyB2aE9au 7mMRytXUjExc1oEuTeW+vbNgVZcrV2C33KelwJ/4ohU32Wwkywh2MH7Sk34LReiz NtjwJtP4GqWTtnXXTa23S0PCy97s7botOCYbtAJYICe21Bh8xCLsKC3zKvzUKYWU 6mgVRW/JEsJPg5urpA64asHuKF5dZdOv7ovVPbiyk6Fgt52c0P8y/LF5CU0NwtQ1 fLsF2b2qALhJAB8f70BaQhA5t/lf8Q0gixAaU0PU0B8tMKJTCji9J5yKEvFXP65R w8C3AR2hfkSbNcmWNFAg6112mpRG6L4U/GvgZeQAK1PrPw6UQDqMXOAlRxhDykcw a7Aen1eOjMi2bJrmnEM/ =VI7G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --+HP7ph2BbKc20aGI--
