That worked for me, and I've had 5 different usb wifi adapters work seamlessly on my Pine64 with Debian Mate.
Could you possibly list them? I'm having problem with my wifi adapter and I would consider buying new one if there is one inexpensive that works for sure.
Hi CaptainZalo,
Please list the 5 models of usb wifi adapters that work for you on the Pine64.
I'm pretty sure that this would benefit others as well.
Thanks
Sorry. I haven't subscribed to this thread, so I didn't see this post until vinod made me aware of it. Here is what I wrote him in a PM:
I am currently on summer vacation and won't get back home until last half of august. I can remember this:
1: NetGear N300 Mini USB, unknown chipse. Realtek I think.
2: WiPi old adapter with BCM43143 chipset.
3: New WiPi adapter (red text and slanted edge) with Ralink 5370 chipset.
4: A NoName adapter with RealTek RTL8192 chipset.
5: Last one is a nano style USB linksys adapter, but I can't remember name or chipset.
All of these work in ubuntu and debian images after doing 'sudo apt-get install linux-firmware'
