Re: suggestion for wifi usb card

[Keith]

Hey Brian,

Are you using the MA111 on a SA unit, or a DirecTivo unit? I just bought
the MA111 and read this post before even opening the box. I want to make
sure that it's supported before I open it. If you are using a DirecTivo,
what driver are you using that works with the adapter?

My problem was that the Tivo would not recognize the MA111 was connected to
the USB port. I powered down and rebooted several times, but the Tivo never
noticed the wifi card. I took that back to Best Buy and got the WUSB11. It
was recognized by the Tivo right away and everything is fine now. I'm using
a Netgear wireless router.

Thanks for all the help!
