Thanks for your extensive reply.
I will try things. My current status is that I have wifi network access through an USB Wifi adapter which is fine but I need the USB connection position on the Pine64 for drive attachment et al. The second USB connector is taken by the wireless keyboard. So I would like to get the installed wifi module going.
The page you recommended [quote='MarkHaysHarris777' pid='22353' dateline='1478902296'] suggests a command to find whether the wifi module is alive by using:
iwconfig.
My terminal answers: unknown command.
Why is that?
Regarding the MAC address of the wifi module
you wrote to me on Nov 8 [quote='pfeerick' pid='22229' dateline='1478574844']:
Not sure about the bluetooth, but if you are on linux, to get the wifi mac address, run ifconfig | grep "HWaddr" and look at the wlan1 line.
On android, it you should be able to find it under System -> About (tablet) -> Status.
Again, my terminal replies unknown command.
It is getting difficult.
