USB WIFI Dongle Support

Is there going to be support for external USB wifi dongles and if so would you be able to supply a list of compatible ones?

There is no plan to support external USB Wifi dongle.

It should be possible to create new community images with drivers for external USB WiFi dongles.
It is up to the community to make those images.

The rule of thumb is that if that USB WiFi dongle works on your Linux desktop, it will be possible to get it to work on the Pine64 (with suitable community image).

This is possible for Linux OS.
