It's actually nothing to do with the quality of the device itself,
it's to do with the fact that the driver for the WiFi driver [1] isn't
upstream in the mainline Linus kernel,
Yes. I see.
we don't typically pull in
drivers that aren't upstream, or at the very least been reviewed and
accepted for upstream, simply because it's a support nightmare and we
don't have enough resources to be able to do that.
I know and I understad this very well. In fact thank you for all your efforts.
Another question related to dtb and dts.
Let's suppose I was able to compile such module (driver).
What about dtb? Are dtb files "distribution agnostic"? Or the related dts file should be compiled along the kernel in use? I mean: can I grab a dtb file from another distribution and put it on Fedora? (Yeah! I want to build Frankenstein :-))
Thanks
A.
