Four months later. Before I buy one of these, any update on the wifi driver? Looks like the last commit was two months ago.
EDIT: Did some further digging. Looks like it was fixed in 6.5.0-okpine. Wiki needs to be updated.
I doubt we will ever see the working driver here.
Writing drivers is a complex process, and this driver is mess (also the wifi chip is mess). The guy who started working on the driver lost interest 4 month ago.
Till now, nobody else joined the project to write a new driver from scratch.
So this basically means the Pinetab2 will be useless junk for those who purchased it (meaning me)? I mean you even can't use wifi over USB here. And if I have understood it rightly, the last updates even crashed the existing wifi over android connection. Or should we hope Mobian comes up with the goods once and for all?
