Hello folks,
I want to use a 2nd Wifi adaptor to connect to the marina wifi.
I happen to have 2 nano tp-link (alike) wifi adaptors.
At home I was testing with the new version 3 Openplotter.
I did not manage to connect using the RTL wifi adaptor.
I remembered I solved it in version 2 to use the "install wifi driver" option, however the version 3 does not have this option.
Today I am on the boat having the version 2 running.
I checked the adapter and it's also a RTL8188eu chip (tp-link)
As I have many times idssue to reconnect i thought to be smart updating OS by perfroming an update.
> sudo apt update
> sudo apt upgrade
After that my 2nd adpater disapeared.
- do fix if ain't broken -
Trying to fix and reinstalling the driver using the button in network the driver could no longer be found:
I got message:
Questions:
1) any option to get the drivers installed in both version 2 and 3
2) what adaptors are working (when looking in shops the chepset is most of time not mentioned)
Thanks in advance
