Default Can this reader use a USB Wifi Adaptor and ? driver

Hi All, espeically @Trinity and Nicolas72 ...

Very Interesting reading this threat. I have this reader branded as VIVID Model AEET100K with manufacturer name E3 Style Pty Ltd. I bought it a few weeks ago while away studying in Australia. It is the black 2Gb version with V1.0.5. I will prob? update the firmware to Skytex primer as suggested by Trnitiy - but first I need to crack it open to check which Chip is in it as there seems to be big probs for different chipsets to what Trinity has.

But I have another question - Can this ebook reader be enabled for Wifi using a USB wifi adaptor into the mini USB? And if so I should imagine it needs a driver for such adaptor (mine is a Netgear WG111v2) - and IF the OS is Linux (not Windows CE or the like) where can I get the driver for my adaptor? Has anyone attempted to make this ebook reader wifi capable? Does it need rooting? And would the architecture run a different OS which might be better?

I hope you smart guys and gals out there can enlighten me with this idea?
