Radxa Zero 3W Question

[zai1208]

Would it be possible to use the onboard AIC8800 wifi adapter on the radxa as an rx? I saw a pull request into the firmware repo for the AIC8800 drivers and was wondering if it would be possible to use the radxa as is without an external wifi adapter, it is possible to plug in external antennas as well.

has anyone tried this before?

Yes, you can. To try it yourself, delete the autoload-wfb-nics.sh script in the scripts folder, and then put "wlan0" into /etc/default/wifibroadcast. Then go into rsetup and enable the external antenna.

Note that the driver for the AIC8800 is rx only, so anything involving the wfb-ng tunnel will not function. This includes the new gsmenu in the radxa beta and Adaptive Link.

wfb-ng running on the internal Radxa wifi, no external cards, just HDMI out.
