...and it turns out the above is hopelessly busted and doesn't work. Worse yet, it seems to work, but no wireless device will be able to connect. | |||
==== Hope Crushed Again ==== | |||
There's a repository (old as it is) from gl-inet with source code (sort of): https://github.com/gl-inet/openwrt/tree/openwrt-19.07.7/package/kernel/rtl8192eu But good luck modifying that for version 23.x (or later). | |||
Wait! More hope: https://community.toradex.com/t/how-to-cross-compile-rtl8192eu-driver-for-imx8mp/20023#post_6 | |||
https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver (tried but ran into serious issues on one of the modules that contained the IPX protocol among other things, it was swiss cheese on fixing issues, just one after another in an endless stream of compile errors) | |||

Remove the two rubber feet closest to the front. Unscrew the two screws that are now visible. Start at the back, above the USB Ports, and gently pry up, working around to the front on both sides. | Remove the two rubber feet closest to the front. Unscrew the two screws that are now visible.

=== Alternate Solution === | |||
Use the GL.iNet v19.07.08 version of OpenWRT. And then use updated packages (except for kernel stuff, so bluetooth would be hopeless for say btrtl.ko). But it allows for newer versions of Pulse Audio, etc. | |||
Modify the /etc/opkg/customfeeds.conf file;<syntaxhighlight lang="text"> | |||
# add your custom package feeds here | |||
# | |||
# src/gz example_feed_name http://www.example.com/path/to/files | |||
src/gz Optional_Base https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.3/packages/aarch64_cortex-a53/base | |||
src/gz Optional_Packages https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.3/packages/aarch64_cortex-a53/packages | |||
</syntaxhighlight>And just use OPKG as usual. The URLs in /etc/opkg/customfeeds.conf will take precedence over items in /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf But use with caution and do NOT enable any feeds from ''core'' or ''routing.'' | |||
This idea was tested by manually downloading .ipk files from OpenWRT, then installing them using the OPKG command (see below) The result was a successful version of Python3 running on OpenWRT 19.07.8 (which comes with Python2);<syntaxhighlight lang="text"> | |||
