Lemmy needs polls. The last time I had problems with WIFI drivers was... 15 years ago? On a laptop bought in a supermarket that originally came with Windows Vista. Oh, and the raspberry pi - fuck raspberry pis. They can't pick wifi module worth shit.

I mean it isn't Linux fault, but I wanted to install balenaos on my RaspberryPi and they don't support a WiFi chip in their kernel. Without WiFi the whole idea won't work for me. And I don't want to buy a new WiFi usb only because they don't want to add the drivers.

My attempts to add it to the kernel and build it myself failed so far.

I'm not faulting linux, I'm faulting the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Linux is their main operating system and they haven't picked a good WIFI hardware module for years. Dunno if the new raspberrypi 4 is better, but I'm not paying to find out.

Quick correction, the Pi5 is the new one

Thanks. I'm out of the loop.
