Supported Laptop Models
Samples from the following laptop families/models were physically tested by us as being able to boot and run the OSWA-Assistant LiveCD or LiveUSB environment. If your laptop has the same chipsets and CDROMs as these, then it is likely also to be able to boot and run:
(Important note #1: your mileage may vary since specifications between individual models within the same laptop family often differ; we cannot offer any guarantee or warranty that your laptop will be able to boot or run the OSWA-Assistant)
(Important note #2: all laptop hardware mentioned here refers to the LAPTOP-ONLY, and NOT the wireless adapter! For supported wireless adapters, please read the "Supported Wireless Chipsets" section below!)
The following laptop families/models were reported by users to also be able to load either the OSWA-Assistant LiveCD or LiveUSB. If your laptop runs it successfully, please let us know by emailing:
assistant-feedback [-at-] securitystartshere.org
You'll get to have your name listed next to your submission! (unless you tell us otherwise of course)
Supported Wireless Chipsets
Presently, many 802.11-based chipsets that are commonly found on retail shelves in Asia (where we operate) are supported. Specifically, these are the following:
Also, while not a hardware-native driver, the LORCON abstraction package is also installed to provide support for apps that use it, such as Probemapper.
For those who need even more detailed information, the following list is a non-exhaustive summary of some wireless hardware available off-the-shelf in Singapore that we've physically seen with our own eyes to work with some or all of the relevant software in the toolkit depending on their functionality (Modes).
Usually found on the hardware's stickers or box stickers, the hardware Version No. is VERY important - stick with it!! If you have any other hardware you've confirmed to work, please let us know by emailing:
