If you don't need sdcard reader, but want RJ45 for wired Ethernet and USB host port connectors out-of-the-box (as opposed to soldering to test-points on Zsun), ~ $7 will get you this:

- iuguy 11y agoJust a heads up, the device you mention uses an RT5350-based SOC. There's nothing wrong with it, but support can sometimes be a little flaky. However, the built-in wifi chipset doesn't do channel hopping properly while the AR9331 does, meaning that for people doing 802.11 security stuff this is not the chipset for you. If on the other hand you're not doing 802.11 or anything funky with the hardware, it's a nice little box. I have one using a CDC ether USB gadget to inject rickrolls into web pages.

- iuguy 11y agoNo, I'm using a HooToo TripMate Mini (HT-TM03) which uses the same SoC and seems to work fine out of the box, but I had to build my own OpenWRT image based on a hodgepodge of current trunk and Wingspinner's HT-TM02 work. EDIT: Actually there are quite a few boxes out there that do have CDC support built in. The ASUS WL-330NUL uses a stripped down ASUSWRT and has CDC support built-in. You can get the firmware source and build your own version if you like. It's not as friendly as OpenWRT (which is saying something) but is workable if you persevere.
