Anybody know how to enable WLAN in DM800 with the Linksys WUSB54GC ver.3. Maybe some step by step guide for Dream Elite BH 1.3.3 or even any other image - just let this thing work

Regards

Plug in the wireless dongle into your usb port.
Restart the dreambox.
Then when it's all up and running do
Menu -> Setup -> System -> Network

Hopefully you should see it in there, and then should be able to set it all up.

This is what I did on DE 1.33D and it worked for me.

Doesn't work for me, but I have a later version G122 that has the RT2870 chipset. I hope there is support for it soon.
I've read several guides to getting the RT2870 wifi dongles to work but none seem to work for me.

No, no other steps apart from what I've described.

Sometimes the DE image gets confused with mounted devices, I had this problem with my hard drive, which would not mount properly.

What I did was re-flash the box with DE 1.33D image, make sure the wireless dongle is not plugged in.

Then once the image is flashed, set it all up, mount the hard drive, etc (if you have a hard drive that is).

Once all your devices are mounted, and you're happy shut down the dreambox. Plug in the wireless adaptor into a dreambox usb slot and start it up.

Then do Menu -> Setup -> System -> Network

Hopefully you should see the device.

Also ensure you usb dongle is supported, I did check and it seems to be, you just need to be sure it not a chinese copy usb device :)

Not chinese dongle - can not get to work

I have that D-Link dongle and it did not work (I think there are a few revisions of it and only one works). Nabilo and Dream Elite just didn't detect it.

The one I have that works is TP-LINK TL-WN321G which I bought off ebay for about £7
