Would you know what chipset that particular wifi-dongle is running? A wifi-dongle may work, but I'm thinking it's not really desirable to go that way. I'm figuring the users will loose that dongle sooner than later! :-) -- //Sorin

I understand your concern regarding the users, but thet can't be any worse than mine, and they're capable of not losing their mouse dongle. It would be nicer to get it working with the internal one at some point.
