[Q] XOOM external USB Wifi adapter.

[Democreature]

I've looked and saw something similar but don't remember the search criteria. History: I once had a Chinese tablet that worked as desired. I used a USB WLAN adapter that overrode the internal wifi and worked. Is there something I can do to have my XOOM recognized my external usb wifi adapter. (I am rooted with ICS 4.03 with a OTG adapter)

I believe the information you are looking for in in the Xoom Android Development section. The tread is called "Tegra Hardware and Feature Implementation ". Drivers and further enhancements to the kernel can be found on the first post.

That was informative, now to figure out how to install it. I am just getting started doing this stuff.

External USB Wifi

First I don't want to do any testing on network security, I barely know how to turn on my XOOM.
What I looking for is a way to use my external USB Wifi adapter with my XOOM to increase the range of reception when I'm on the lake too far from my home wifi.

I want to be able to disable the internal wifi and then attach the external USB Antenna.

Developers, I know where the donate button is. Just need some help with this issue.

I don't want to install BT5.

Or if this has all ready been done please give me the link because after hours of searching, I can't seem to find the solution.
