Yes, that's a good point. I'm not completely sure which name to pick, though: - The chip is marked RTL8188ETV (see photo[1]) - The RTL8XXXU driver reports it as RTL8188EU Best regards, J.

This patchset adds rtl8188 (usbbda,179) to the onboard_usb_dev driver. It is found in a set-top box called "Fernsehfee 3.0". As a side note, this device is currently marked untested in the RTL8XXXU driver. In my experience it works (tested with a WPA2 home network). Signed-off-by: J. Neuschäfer <j.ne@posteo.net> --- J.
