Wifi dongle question

Organelle
1

Hi,

I am trying to use a Comfast CF-WU810N Wifi USB dongle with my Organelle but it’s not working. I’ve tried using it on another Raspberry Pi & it worked fine. When I check my Wifi log file, I get this:

WIFI LOG
Cannot find device "wlan0"
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
Could not read interface wlan0 flags: No such device
nl80211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect commands
Could not read interface wlan0 flags: No such device
Could not read interface wlan0 flags: No such device
WEXT: Could not set interface 'wlan0' UP
wlan0: Failed to initialize driver interface
wlan0: interface not found or invalid
dhcpcd exited

Has anyone had any luck with this Wifi dongle? Or is there a way to upload the drivers to the Organelle?

Thanks.

It looks like the this adapter users the RTL8188EUS chipset, which I’m pretty sure is not compatible with Organelle. You want to find one with an RT5370 chipset which is known to work. these adapters are widely available
