Question DB Wireless networking?

Hi Guys,

Can I use a wireless USB network adapter on my DreamBox?

I have just moved my DB into the living room and I dont really want to run a cable though to the router as its a about 50 feet away!

I have a Belkin 802.11g USB, I plugged it in but it dosnt appear to work,
I suppose it needs some sort of driver?

Anyone here had any luck with a wireless DB?

Thanks.
John.

My System: Dreambox 7000, Skystar2

There are apparently some that work if you download the right plugin (and there is a list of supported devices somewhere) but I didn't need the hassle, and went for the wireless bridge.

USB WIFI for Dreambox NOT Support 802.11g version yet...
Only 11Mbps but not all models...

D-Link DWL 810+ is a neat little wireless unit that plugs in to your ethernet port and should speak to your router on default settings.
I can watch hdd recorded movies remotely through it, no problem.
