Astaro as a wireless Client

Hello,

I did some searching here, but mostly I see people trying to turn astaro in to an AP, I actually would like to connect Astaro to a wireless network, for ISP redundancy, is this something thats possible ? Can I use USB/PCI wireless cards ?

Thanks in advance

Currently, no drivers are available in the Astaro distribution. You have to use an external device and connect it to the Astaro via Ethernet.

Apparently, next year may be different: Network: 3g/Cellular Aircard Support

FWIW, most cheap wireless routers can be used as a bridge, then you can plug a NIC in Astaro into that.

I have done setup like that in past using linksys based AP.
Works well and you can segment it like any other connection.

If someones installed the driver manually it would probably work unless updates network configs at all. I don't have a pci based card to try - the usb support would probably be a pain to get working.
