Well, you have Synaptic in the default build ... I guess that we could consider getting the Ubuntu Mate store front-end for it? I'll talk to @Mrfixit2001

@tophneal I don't. Once @Mrfixit2001 pushes the release I'll ask him to edit in details

@Der Geist der Maschine This is probably what you're after? https://github.com/mrfixit2001/rockchip-...4cee52d91a

From the forthcoming update:

# Disable wifi power management
mv $DIR/rc.local /etc
chmod +x /etc/rc.local

It's not nice overwriting other people's rc.local

update 1.5 is now live.

just updated mine with MrFixit's script.
There was an error message part-way about a missing directory but it didn't stay on screen long enough to note down and, of course, the script closes the terminal window on completion.
Firefox now seems to be working for me.
No apparent problems
