Hooooo A500 mini WiFi support?

Good afternoon everyone
I would like to know if the a500 mini has wifi support, if not, is it possible to use a wifi dongle? Thanks.

Nope. Even if you could get Linux to recognise the dongle, the crappy version of Amiberry used doesn't have bsdsocket.library support enabled so you can't access it.

If you could get access to Linux to do that, it likely wouldn't be too much work to make it run a more up to date and complete version of Amiberry. So maybe, but likely a lot of work and really a Pi is a much better solution.

Amiberryv5 works on the A500 Mini via Pandory now... and it now bypasses host run so no need for it to run it
