Hi,

Using a new wifi dongle Realtek 8812BU Wireless LAN 802.11ac USB NIC, but doesnt seem to be loading with these nightly builds, is there anyway i can install the drivers manuallly..

Regards

You can find a driver for this chipset and build LibreELEC yourself, that might work, until the next kernel bump when your driver will almost certainly be very badly broken.

I don't think we'll be adding any additional Realtek driver support with new out-of-tree drivers - the longer term plan is to drop them all and switch to the in-kernel WiFi drivers. So as far as LibreELEC official support is concerned, there isn't likely to be any for the 8812BU at this point in time, but maybe with LE10.

Thanks for the response milhouse, I've had nothing but problems with realtek dongles, so sending this one back and will try one with a ralink chipset instead.
I'd like to use to internal one on the rpi3 but the signal quality is awful..
Do you have any recommendations for a good wifi dongle for the pi3? 

Kindest Regards
