I have dealt with the vagaries of Ralink and Realtek chipsets for many years now, so I endorse the decision to remove problematic drivers from the piCorePlayer distribution.
However, this puts me in a quandry. I'm happily running pCP 7.0.1 on a RPi B+ with a Realtek-based USB dongle using the 8812au driver, now removed from 8.0.0.
Kudos for warning me during the in-situ upgrade.
I am in the process of manually building the rtl8812au driver (which works GREAT with all my x86_64 Ubuntu platforms). Only one thread on this single core Pi, though.
It's now been over 2 hours with no end to the build in sight. :)
I would much rather wallet-engineer a quick solution than deal with this rtl8812au single core build again.
So what wireless USB drivers remain in the pCP 8.0.0 platform?
