I was lucky to order a Raspberry PI yesterday, and have been looking at arranging the accessories for it. In the launch info on the Raspberry PI site it links to Premier Farnell which shows a micro WiFi dongle. Is there anywhere which says which model this micro dongle is? I've looked at supported chipsets but can't find a 'small' dongle fitting the description anywhere.

I'm confused. How is this on-topic for Unix/Linux SE? This seems like a hardware question that has nothing to do with Unix/Linux. – Chris Down Mar 1 '12 at 14:56
I might be in the wrong place - if I am I apologise, but my assumption was it was hardware question for a linux-specific piece of hardware (at a stretch) - and more importantly, a case of what hardware is supported by standard linux drivers. – George Pearce Mar 1 '12 at 15:05

Raspberry Pi is not Linux-specific by any stretch of the imagination. You're asking about the model of a specific piece of hardware, I don't see how that's on-topic. – Chris Down Mar 1 '12 at 15:37
So...maybe instead of complaining, we could offer some suggestions as to where this question should go? I'm not entirely sure. There's an electronics StackExchange, but that doesn't really seem appropriate... – larsks Mar 1 '12 at 15:44
EE is the only site I could think of where it might fit, but they said it's off-topic there, so I'm just going to close as off-topic – Michael Mrozek♦ Mar 1 '12 at 17:31
