USB Wifi Dongle
#15
Insert your wifi dongle and do a dmesg.
Depending on which chipset the dongle is using, you may install a package with drivers to activate it.

I have tested the PineA64 with several different dongles (Broadcom, Realtek and RALink), and all but one (some strange Atheros-based clone that fell off a lorry in Thailand) have worked as intended after I installed the driverpackage and replugged the dongle.

Here's a little something from teh internet:
