Mini X - a new member in the family

[csgregg]

Doesn't look like the MK802 WLAN adapter is supported. Is it possible to add the drivers to the image?

Is there a list of supported external USB WLAN cards?

Thanks

I think the adapter is a Ralink8188 - any ideas?

Here is the list from Boris for DC01 which should apply for A10 also: WLAN on DC01

This is what is listed for the Mele A2000g (which works very well):

-bash-4.2# lsusb
--
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter

I would look at the chipset of the recommended cards or others known to work, that is what really matters. it would be interesting to see what the MK802 uses that is not working.

Note: you can get a shell in fluxbox by right-clicking the workspace Applications>Shells or Terminal Emulators

Thanks for the info.
I've ordered the MK805 Mini PC from a reseller in England now and will give it a try. It should be here within a few days. I hope it works with meteohub.

The chipset seems to slightly different -

You have 0bda:8176 - I have 0bda:8179 - both Realtek

Looking around it seems that mine is RTL8188EU, which I'm guessing is a European version of the RTL8188CUS (Canada/US?) which is in yours.

How feasible is it to install additional drivers? I'm guessing that is something for Boris....

I have done some searching about and have found that unfortunately, wifi problems are a common issue with the MK802.. examples on Rikomagic MK802 Forums

I suggest save the pain and get a usb dongle that works

[csgregg]

I saw that too - my Linux is probably too rusty for that

Is there a list of tried and tested Usb wlan adapters anywhere ?

Thanks for your help Rainman32

Here is the list of adapters from Boris for the DC01 which should apply for A10 too: WLAN on DC01

Also found this awesome site for cross referencing the chipsets: Realtek - WikiDevi

Ok - I already got my MiniX, but it doesn't work at all. Seems that the MK805 can't boot from the SD card...
