I'm planing my Gridseed farm setup. Can someone tell me if this will work? I want to attached 20x Gridseed to 1x RasPi. I will be using 2x Roswell (RHB-500) 10 port USB hubs. But I would also like to use a usb wifi adapter. Will the following non powered USB splitter work? Assuming I hook up the the wifi adapter and 1x 10 port usb hub to 1 USB 2.0 port on the RasPi. The other 10 port usb hub will plug directly into the 2nd usb 2.0 port on the RasPi. My alternative would be to get a wireless bridge and hook up a Ethernet hub. But my preference would be to use a mini wifi adapter.

Get a 13-port hub and a 10-port hub, and don't use the splitter. Or get two 13-port hubs, in case you want to connect a few more donuts later. The goal is to keep max 2 levels of daisy-chained hubs, and any hub with >7 ports already has 2 levels inside.
