m68k yeah I'm running a self-built version of LE12 with a newer kernel. Actually haven't tried doing a custom build of LE11 with kernel 6.4.x

Anyways it looks like kernel 6.4.x is the actual solution to get wifi working again because it comes with proper WiFi drivers for RTL8188EUS.

Alright, got it working by building latest master (commit d43e1a4d9222a949a346f23779c547f7e1208c43) of LibreELEC with following patch in order to get kernel 6.4.0-rc4 which provides working wifi out of the box

Just stumbled across this thread after upgrading LibreELEC from 10.0.4 to 11.0.1 on my Raspberry Pi 2. After the upgrade my wifi was gone

LibreELEC:~ # lsusb
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter

chewitt Just noticed that your link (http://ix.io/4sGP) doesn't contain an alias for above mentioned wifi adapter. Could you maybe have a look why it seems to have vanished from 10.0.4 to 11.x?

Thanks in advance and kind regards
