Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ High-Speed LoveRPi Nano Dongle 802.11n with 2.4GHz 150Mb WiFi for Raspberry Pi and Windows 10 IoT by Vinny Howard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works almost "easy "

I bought this with a Raspberry Pi 2B to build a wireless NAS. After installing OpenMediaVault 5.x and plugging in this dongle, the next boot seems to work, but towards the end when the activity light goes out and the WiFi interface has no IP address. After some googling I found that in such cases the wpa_supplicant service needs to be restarted. Commands can be added to a new systemd service to do this automatically, but I chose to put them in /.bashrcsudo killall wpa_supplicantsudo wpa_supplicant -B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -D nl80211,wext to insert
