The title pretty much describes my situation that I am currently in. I don't know what to do and have been looking online for a while now and I can't seem to figure out the cause of my problem. Has anyone tried to use the edimax wifi dongle on their Pine64 yet and if so did you get it to work?

The problem is the current Kernel does not have a lot of drivers/modules built in at this time. Simple as that. If you are running one of the linux OS's install whatever package you need to get lsusb and issue that command, it should identify more specifically the wifi chip involved. Needed I am afraid because even big wifi adapter manufs from time to time will change which wifi chip is in a wifi dongle of the same model number (stupid I know). 

Post back the info here and maybe someone can help get it working.
