Cant make WiFi working on ROCK64.
#1
Hi People!

I have 2 usb dongles for WiFi, but none of them are working in Rock64.

First one is a TP-Link WN721N uses AR9271 chip and is not accepted.

The second is a DLink DWA-123 uses RTL8188EU driver and is not accepted.
I think this is the same used in the dongle sold originaly by Pine site.

I running a Rock64 board with 2 Rb of Ram.

S.O. = MATE 1.12.1
Release 16.04.3 LTS (Xenial Xerus) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 4.4.77-rockchip-ayufan-136 aarch64

Running ifconfig only lo and eth0 are shown.

Running iwconfig only lo and eth0 are shown.

With tplink atached:

With D-Link atached to USB 2.0:
