Dear guys,
I have a problem with toradex USB adapter on IMX6ULL image.

I inserted the USB wifi adapter but when I don’t find the Wifi port when
I do connmann-properties.

I tried to do the command lsusb and the USB wifi adapter exists on the device lists:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1c4f:0034 SiGma Micro 
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04d9:a088 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc. 
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 058f:6254 Alcor Micro Corp. USB Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

What do I do to use it?
Thank you

Best regards

Is it https://developer.toradex.com/products/lm816-usb-wifi ?

An existing Linux driver for this adapter has some issues so we neither recommend to use this adapter with Linux nor support it.

A while ago we’ve tested a SparkLAN WUBR-508N 802.11abgn USB Adaptor with 2.8BSP. We have not tested it with BSP V3 and beyond, so we cannot guarantee that it will work out of the box.

We have a Colibri iMX6Ull module with WiFI/BT module onboard.

Dear alex, i have same issue, i need to use an USB WiFi dongle with IMX6ULL.
Unfortunately i cannot use MX6Ull module with WiFI/BT module onboard because WiFi is an option.
Please can you suggest me some USB dongle that can work with linux?
If not, at least a chipset that should work.

Is the Realtek RTL8188CUS/RTL8188EUS chipset supported into IMX6ULL linux image?
Tks
Roberto
