Here are the WiFi adapters we know work with the Hammer Board:
1) Edimax EW-7318Ug
For this to work properly, you need at least kernel 2.6.25-rc8 with the Hammer Patch. This adapter uses the Ralink RT73 chipset, so the rt73usb driver must be enabled in your kernel.
Here is a known working configuration for this adapter. These lines are added to your inittab file.
