I don't think so....software drivers will most likely be the stumbling block.
Use something like the netgear ME101 etc...those type of bridge adapters work with anything.
Hello Group,
Thank you for all the excellent advice. My DM800 is working nicely. I would like to know if the Netgear RangeMax Wireless-N USB 2.0 Adapter has been used successfully on the DM800. I require wireless on my DM800 as the location has no Internet cables. I have read the post here and enabled the wireless in the Kernal module. As my USB adapter suggests running a special prog for installation(on a pc) I am at a lost to know how to proceed. I am using the latest Gemini image .10 or .11 Windows XP
The Lan its on now works fine. Seems this is a newer area of experimentation for me. The wife will be pleased if i can get this working on her plazma(= brownie points!) Thank you all for any help you could provide in my endeavor and Thanks again for this wonderful group! Cheers vk3xz (melbsatwatcher)

use a wireless client (WLAN to Ethernet) instead of a USB stick
e.g. D-Link DAP-1522, DAP-1150 or DAP-1353, DWL-2100AP, Asus WL-320gP (1522 n 1353 are 802.11n compatible.. not sure about the others).
These devices allow you to connect a short Ethernet cable from the device to the Dreambox and configured to connect to your existing wireless network
I use to use a 2100AP for my TViX media player and Xbox 360 - both worked fine.
A USB adapter most likely will need to be Atheros to be detected properly? or possible RALink chipsets may also work.
I have not used your model, but if it is USB based just plug it in to the back of the 800 and it will/should find it. Then go to menu|setup|system|network and it will show here if the 800 found it;
Sorry do not know of a gemini wiki but there are more details on the PLi one here and these screens are close enough to be used on both;
