Hi,
I know you have a wifi adatper listed in your shop but the link doesn't seem to work. I need to get a usb wifi adapter for a Core 3 and so far I've tried a Netgear AC1200 and a D-Link DWA-171 but both options don't work out of the box. Do you have any recommendations from common manufacturers that I can easily access?

Hi jassa,
any Linux 4.19 compatible USB wifi adapter (like the Edimax N150) should work with our hardware.

Hi Nic,
I purchased an Edimax N150. The bluetooth connects as soon as I plug it in but the wifi does not. I did some Googling and it looks like I may need to install a driver however I'm having issues installing it.
Do you know where I can find a compatible driver for this adapter? I'm using a RevPi Core 3.

Hi jassa,
the N150 should work without any additional drivers. You can check if the device has been detected by the RevPi correctly with the following commands:
List all known network devices: ip link show
Scan for wireless networks on device wlan0: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

Unfortunately sudo iwlist wlan0 scan returns this error: Interface doesn't support scanning.
I can see the Edimax device with lsusb.
Any ideas?

Hi jassa,
which image version do you run (cat /etc/revpi/image-release)? What is the output of lsusb? Is the package firmware-realtek installed?
Here is the output of lsbusb of a working N150 in one of my test setups with the latest Buster image:
