piCore 15 armhf : rtl8xxxu does not load firmware
ovacikar:
Ah good to know, I'll try a fresh install as outlined above later . Thanks for the heads up. If I cannot get the native module to work, I try recompiling without the experimental stuff.
ovacikar:
Fresh install, rtl8xxxu module is doing nothing still. What is the correct order of the modules I need to load, does rtl8xxxu need rtlwifi and rtl_usb ?

Paul_123:
No, the order you listed is fine. The 8xxxu driver included with piCore is not going to work. Since you want the experimental drivers.
ovacikar:
That makes sense. In picore build it does not detect my "idVendor=7392, idProduct=7811" string as a match for the driver. But the build with experimental flag does.
Anyways I will give the compiled untested module a try during my next travel. If it also fails in mesh networks, happy to stay with picore12 as well.
Thanks for the clarification.
