When I ordered, I didn’t understand that it’s not yet ready for prime time. I won’t be able to use it until I have wifi. Checked recommended adapters, but they don’t seem to have USB C adaptors. Cable + clumsy adaptor just won’t work for me.
I couldn’t find a browser anyway, nor could I see how to bring up a bash terminal.
So… questions:
1. Any projections when wifi driver will be available and stable?
2. How will I install when available?
3. Browser— will I need to download one once wifi is installed?
4. MOST IMMEDIATELY HELPFUL— Can I launch a bash terminal and if so, how?
I do much look forward to happy days on the Pinetab 2.
Many thanks,

You should have a USB Wifi adapter anyway if you are any kind of computer nerd. I'm using a TP-Link TL-WN725N which also works with BSDs. USB C to female USB A and there you go.
I saw comments about USB tethering. I wanted to try that but my stupid ass carriers don't allow USB tethering even though the phones are capable of it. They do bluetooth tethering but that doesn't work yet on the PineTab 2. Suck.
