Internal WiFi status?

[explit]

The driver is here:

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?

USB over Wifi works out of the box (for me). Even the last update changed nothing (again: for me).
It depends which USB over Wifi you use, the most have Realtek or Mediatek chipset.
I use AVM Fritz!WLAN USB 860 AC Stick, https://avm.de/produkte/wlan-mesh/fritzw...ck-ac-860/ and i am very happy with it.


I also bought 180 degree USB C to USB A Adapter, so that my USB Stick is connected behind the tablet. I don't even see it, while using.

For the bes2600 wifi driver, one guy found out, how to force the bes2600 driver, not to generate random MAC-Adresses.

The driver can be compiled and is somehow usable, but slow and unstable. I doubt this situation will ever change.
