    • With this one, interface wlan0 becomes visible, but does "not support scanning".

    With new kernel "3vl71": - Edimax [Realtek RTL8188CUS] works fine. - Tenda (ralink RT5370) does not. I verified it working on same hardware running other Linux Live instance - The RTL8187B dongle turns out to be flaky in all Linux tests. Disregard that.
