rtl8192ee currently supported?

2022-12-01 Thread Heppler, J. Scott

2022-01-26 Thread Heppler, J. Scott
I believe the FAQ4 section on multibooting is placing all Grub2 based distributions into the same bucket incorrectly. Debian and its derivatives utilize a different path to BOOTX64.EFI and are amendable to multibooting with OpenBSD. See attached patch for details. -- J. Scott Heppler ---

This theoretically is doable but will be a challenge. Your options will also swing on whether the laptop you purchase will boot an old MBR scheme or is restricted to GPT/UEFI. DragonflyBSD has instructions on multibooting an older MBR. https://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/handbook/Booting/ If

I just purchased a nano-usb wifi dongle with the expectation that it would have a rtl8188cu chipset. In fact it has a MediaTek MT7601U and on perusing alot of purchase comments it seems that the MT7601U is supplanting the RealTek chipset. Ralink was fairly open and provided partial
