Hi,
I have purchased the “VisionFive2 RISC-V Single Board Computer, StarFive JH7110 Processor”, need the compatible Wifi-Client module for the wifi connectivity in order to download the software and do some experimentation on RISC-V.

Please suggest the compatible Wi-Fi USB Adapter

You didn’t mention what dist you’re using, but I’m using Ubuntu server and I put an old Periphio USB wifi dongle in mine and it works fine.

## USB WiFi adapters that are supported with Linux `in-kernel` drivers

USB WiFi adapters that are supported with `in-kernel` drivers are plug-and-play with most desktop distros. Additional work may be required for server distros as the maintainers of server distros seem to think that there are ethernet cables everywhere a user may choose to locate a server. Linux `in-kernel` drivers are preferable over `out-of-kernel` drivers for most users and use cases as problems with locating, installing and maintaining drivers are dramatically reduced allowing for a better experience.

Note: All USB WiFi adapters listed here are single-state (no Windows driver inside), single-function (no Bluetooth support) and use in-kernel drivers (Plug and Play). Buying adapters that meet this criteria greatly increases the probability of a satisfying experience that should last for many years.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for your input.

You should be fine then. I only mentioned it because I have an amd64 machine here and for that I had to download, compile, and install the drivers.
