Wireless Configuration

Due to the lack of WiFi modules on VisionFive 2, you need to purchase a WiFi Dongle. OpenWrt supports dozens of WiFi drivers, and the RTL8821AE PCI interface driver, which is easier topurchase, is chosen here. On VisionFive 2, there is an M.2 M-key interface, which needs to be connected to the NVME M.2 M-key to a/e key interface board to connect to the RTL8821AE module.

In the menu configuration GUI, follow the steps to configure wireless connection:
  1. Select kmod-cfg80211, kmod-mac80211, kmod-rtl8821ae in the configuration menu bar in the following order:

    Kernel modules > Wireless Driver > kmod-cfg80211, kmod-mac80211, kmod-rtl8821ae
