"All reMarkable hardware works except for the Wi-Fi radio because it requires proprietary firmware"

So you need to use USB to xfer documents onboard?

That's correct. The device is exposed over USB as a composite device, consisting of a virtual Ethernet port and a virtual serial port. Network communications may happen over that link, as well as SSH/SCP'ing files.

It also supports USB OTG, so one could plug in a libre-compatible Wi-Fi card and use that.
