I just wanted to know if anyone is aware of a USB Wifi adapter, that doesn't require drivers. (Xp has then natively onboard), or else the chipset used, is just some extremely generic chipset, (like the good ole RTL8139, that fricken Windows 3.11 had drivers for. ;)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

(Or maybe a USB wifi adapter, with a small thumbdrive built in as well? Store the drivers right there on the adapter?

Thanks,

Brian

I have a sandisk wi-fi with attached compact flash memory. Never heard of a usb device.

To make a long issue short. Consider the usb drive ($5) and the wi-fi drive ($12) and tape them together. (you can omit the tape) It will save you a lot of time.

My guess is that there is maybe one device that doesn't require drivers (or rather the system already has it)

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.
