 Get a Chip, a.k.a. Chip 9$, the 9$ computer, Next Thing co. Chip, NTChip. (The one I used was flashed with ChipOS, i.e. the full-fledged Debian with GUI).

+===== USB Stick =====
+It is recommended to use an USB stick to store your files.
+You can follow the instructions listed [[raspberry_pi:mods#usb_fat-storage|Raspberry Pi(rate)Box Mods - USB FAT Storage]].
 ===== Trouble? =====
 As this is more like an unsupported build, please ask in [[https://forum.piratebox.cc/read.php?18,16719|this thread]] for assistance.
+==== Disable management of wifi card in NetworkManager ====
+The NetworkManager is a comfort feature, which tend to disturb a smoothness running PirateBox. You can disable the management of wlan0 of the NetworkManagement daemon, run:
+   if ! grep -q wlan0 /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf ; then
+      sudo sed -i -e 's|unmanaged-devices=interface-name|unmanaged-devices=;interface-name|' \
