Disabling builtin wifi

  • Hi,
    I have Pi 3 with Raspbian Jessiei and LibreElec 8.01 installed (dual boot using Noobs)
    I would like to disable the built in WiFi and use an external USB dongle.

    Tried the black list method, mentioned here Disabling onboard RPi3 wifi running LibreELEC
    But after doing this my PI doesn't recognize the external dongle (the PI has no connectivity). In both of the operating systems.
    Btw, how come that both (LE and Raspbian) read the same black list file?
    If I re-enable the builtin wifi then my external usb dongle is recognized again and I can use.

    Even if I disconnect the internal wifi (only from my network without disabling it), and only then I insert the external USB stick, the USB isn't recognized until I reconnect the built in one. The only work around I've found is to get both wifi cards (the built in one and the external one) and then to disconnect the internal from my network (without disabling the device)
