Brand new Odroid-N2+ user here having just got my unit last week. Had installed the latest CoreELEC Matrix stable image and everything working okay. I purchased the Hardkernel wifi and bluetooth module along with my unit, but it doesn’t seem to be working/CoreELEC does not recognize it. I have bluetooth enabled in the CoreELEC settings as well. The adapter itself works (both Wifi and Bluetooth) as I tested it out on the same unit but running off an Ubuntu image.
May I ask if this module is supported? Any chance I can get it to work?
To add: I just tried these instructions mentioned by a previous user, and created an autostart.sh file via SSH.
Rebooted, still did not work. I also tried using chmod to give execute permissions to the file but it still did not work.
When I try to boot with the wifi adapter plugged in, coreelec boots but it gets stuck in the splash screen. When I unplug the adapter, it immediately resumes loading/booting into kodi.
Here are the logs, hoping someone can help and point me in the right direction.
Output when I run lsusb with the adapter connected:

Hi, I waited a little longer for good measure and to my surprise this time around it booted. Not sure what happened, or if it just needed a couple more minutes to initialize/run. That might be an error on my part as I was expecting it to work right away…
Anyway, the wifi is working now, but it still can’t seem to detect the bluetooth.
How long does it need to get into Kodi? Almost 3 minutes?
Can you try to remove and insert adapter, run modeswitch command and restart Kodi? Is BT visible then? And how long does Kodi needs to start this time?
system kodi stop
usb_modeswitch -KW -v 0bda -p 1a2b
system kodi start
I noticed when I removed and inserted the adapter back in, it’s back to not being recognized. Have to run the modeswitch command manually for it to recognize again.
So I timed it now and from boot to my Kodi screen (note I still have the autostart.sh script present) it takes a little over 1.5 mins. Wifi OK, BT still not working.
I have an identical problem with the new model 5B wifi usb adapter. I solved the problem in the same way with the autostart.sh script. Whether this is the only way or in future upgrades we can expect native coreelec support for this adapter.
The adapter is working for now, but the boot and shutdown is slowed down
You use a one year old image, update first to last stable 9.2.7 or better 19.2-Matrix_rc2 and make a log with clean fresh install. CE-19 do have more WiFi/BT support then 9.2
Sorry I am not sure what you mean? Just checked my setup and went to coreelec settings->about page and it says I am already on 19.2-Matrix_rc2. I just set up the unit earlier in the month and pulled the latest stable image from the download page.
