Does anyone know if it is possible to use an 802.11g wireless adapter on a DirecTivo??
I would assume it is possible utilising the AirNet module as long as someone could compile a driver for the Tivo?? But, has anyone out there actually done that?

You could plug an 802.11g bridge into the TurboNet

Ah, but could you go the other way? I'm using a 802.11b airnet, and didn't realize how slow it would be - or didn't realize how big everyfile you'd want to pull off a Tivo would beOriginally posted by osetivo

So now that I've got the Airnet adapter + wifi card, could I use a wired ethernet adapter- more specifically has anyone written drivers for a particular wired pcmcia adapter for the tivo?

Just get the TurboNet adapter and something like the Linksys WET54G. It's unlikely that someone will write a new driver for the airnet card to support a 10/100 card. That's not an easy task and not worth the time since we have TurboNet already available.
