S905 - possible to use USB wifi dongle?

  • I have an S905 MXQ Pro 4k (1gb/8gb) with the 9083xu wifi module internal.

    Is there a way to use a USB realtek adapter to overcome not having support for the 9083xu?

    I have a few of the edimax 8129 usb dongles around. They work with raspbian on rpi librelec, but I haven't figured out how to get it working with librelec on S905. Any ideas? is there a dtb I should use?

  • Device tree has nothing to do with external devices. Probably the driver is not there. It might be possible to add support but I cannot promise that because the kernel we have to use is quite old. Post results of lsusb and lsmod after you plug the USB WiFi.
