wifi chip - dominator18 - 05-27-2016
Hi, I ordered the pine64 512 mb version. I received my order and proceeded to download debian, the initial boot went flawlessly. But, I cant seam to get Wi-Fi to work AT ALL. I purchased the add-on "on board" Wi-Fi chip from the pine64 kickstarter page. And now that I have it booted up and all I can't even find how I am supposed to access Wi-Fi on the pine64
. Please help. Thank you in advance for any help ya'll can provide.

I assume installed the wifi card on the board. You will need to tell us what OS you are running.

The first question is the interface detected by the kernel?
try
sudo /sbin/ifconfig -a
hopefully you have a wlan0,. but it might be rename4.
then try
sudo /sbin/iwconfig
you will want to configure wlan0/rename4 not wlan1
I would suggest using the command line examples for wifi configuration.
just setup the /etc/network/interfaces file correctly, ala add a wlan0 stanza then do 'sudo ifup wlan0' and it should be on wifi.

I am having a similar issue but I am running the Android 5.1 OS that came with the package. It doesn't seem to recognize the WiFi chip. Any suggestions?

I also am having the same issue. I have the 4k media version. Got the add on wifi/Bluetooth module. It will say in settings that it's turned on but won't detect any networks. Is there a driver that needs to be downloaded for the module to work. If so is there a link? Can't find anything on software downloads.
