Howdy!

If anyone is interested in building an OnionPi at PhreakNIC, I wanted to make sure everyone had time to overnight a few key hardware parts that are needed.

At minimum, you need a Raspberry Pi,  4GB SD card, and a *compatible* USB wifi module.  The module I used with great success was:

Adafruit also lists these modules as compatible:

https://www.adafruit.com/product/814

If you want to get technical* about it, what you're looking for is a USB wifi module that can function as an access point under the trimmed down debian wheezy distro for Raspberry Pi (called, Raspian wheezy).

You need a 4GB SD card - I think might be able to get away with a 2GB SD card, that of course depends on the size* of the iso.

Total cost: about $65 + tax/shipping

Looking forward to seeing/meeting everyone at PhreakNIC!

Disco,

* you can pretty much do whatever you want if you want to write a wifi driver or trim an iso on short notice.  ;)  Maybe some of the LUG folks can help you bust that out.  ;)
