Hi guys,

I recently I bought a new usb wifi dongle, a RTL8811CU, but libreelec wont recognize it. is there a way to make it work?

Thanks a lot!

There are no official Linux drivers for RTL8811CU devices and the couple of user-created efforts that show up on GitHub look a bit too home-grown and we wouldn't consider adding them to the distro (we have enough problems with the crap code in the official ones).

Send it back and find something that uses the ath9k driver.

So sad, but sadly true.

Could you recommend me anyone than would work out of the box?

Thanks a lot!
