The buffalo WLI-UC-GN has been verified as working with the vendor's drivers (not the ones that are in the kernel). I tried to port the drivers over to our new kernel, but they were written for 2.6.29, and there have been major struct net_device changes since. Once those have been resolved it should work. See #4346.

Hurrah, it works. I've posted a few wifi dongles that we've tested on the wiki. I'll be writing up some simple docs telling people how to get wifi working since it won't be enabled by default -- at least for people expecting a graphical network manager.
