I just picked up a TrendNET AC1200 USB Wifi dongle (TEW-805-UBH), which I tried on my ODroid N2 (not the plus) but it doesn’t appear to work, no networks show up. An lsusb with it plugged into my desktop shows the following info:
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 20f4:805a TRENDnet 802.11ac NIC
Even the verbose info doesn’t show the chipset but according to info on the 'Net, the RTL88x2BU driver is the one to use. Info is here:
http://www.tinycorelinux.net/15.x/x86_64/tcz/src/rtl88x2bu/rtl88x2bu.build
Is this driver still included in CoreELEC as mentioned above? I’m running CE 21.1.1-Omega.
I compiled the driver to test on my Ubuntu desktop (20.04) in order to see if that is indeed the correct one. I was able to compile and install it successfully but I get a bunch of unknown symbols when I attempt to do an insmod. I compile a lot of stuff from source but this is the first time I’ve dipped my toes into the kernel module space so if anyone has any advice, I’d love to hear it.
The driver I attempted to compile is here:
Many thanks.
