No Wifi option under settings -> networks. How to debug.

1st Official Post

    Tried to install latest 8.1.1 libreelec to an Odriod C2 box with an Edimax AC1200 USB wifi adapter that uses the RTL8188CUS chip. All looks good except I have no ability to enable the wifi under setting networks. The wired option is there but no line for wireless. I have ssh'ed in and I see the Edimax is installed on the usb hub via lsusb. It was plugged in when I ran the disk image installer and the sub boot. It looks like LibreElec supports this network adapter via linux kernels but I can't confirm anywhere. So, how do I go about debugging this or installing drivers? Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Getting this from the modprobe rtl8192cu to modify the kernal. Looks like their are no module files for the rtl8192cu chip.

    modprobe: FATAL: Module rtl8192cumodprobe not found in directory /lib/modules/3.14.29

    Looks like I need to do a get and make to compile the drivers. Is their a repository with the drivers for this version of linux out there or do I need to do it by hand with drivers from manufacturer which I have. Will it even work or am I going to have to install a ton to make this happen?

    After some more digging into the drivers from Edimax and putting it on a Unbuttu system it is not the rtl8192cu chipset that was posted on the wiki but rtl8822bu chipset. I have only seen kernal drivers with a kernal version of 4.+ with these. I assume this are not in the distribution because modprobe didn't work and didnt see them in the distribution. Is there a list of the kernel drivers installed on the current version of libreelec so I can confirm. Thanks.
