Re: Linux on Wii

It's been a while since I've used it, but I think as long as you run
Linux from BootMii (even if BootMii is run from IOS), it has full
access to the hardware. On my newer Wii, WLAN works, and I've used a
USB keyboard, mouse, SD card reader and flash drive running from
BootMii on IOS without problems. You would need to check that the
kernel is built with V4L support, and that you can get the appropriate
USB webcam driver modules built for PowerPC.

Googling a bit, it does seem all the `Family Edition' configuration
does is remove GameCube compatibility; I wouldn't imagine this would
affect HBC/BootMii, given that they don't need/touch MIOS at all any
more. You'd need to try it to be sure; there might be other hardware
missing.
