Edimax EW-7711ULC wifi dongle driver

Just wondering if anyone uses the EW-7711ULC wifi dongle on the raspberry pi and if so how did they install the drivers?

Linux drivers exist on the website but I've no idea how to get them into libreelec

I am running 7.0.2.

I just read the latest alpha fixes support for 5ghz 8812au chips.

I'm going to try it

I don't think my manual update worked, it's hung at startup.

I'll try a fresh install tomorrow after work. Seems like it should all work fine

No luck.

Got a fully working version of 7.90.005 but still no connection via the edifax dongle for some reason.
I was imagining it to just work straight away, my other cheaper one does.

Not really sure what to do from here

I'll submit something to the alpha forum

Turns out I was barking up the wrong tree. My dongle uses the MT7610U chip.

Back to the drawing board for me, think I'll just have to buy a new one that is actually supported
