      Hi everyone,

      Since 6.1.1, my odroid XU4 board can't be attached the wifi gateway.
      To fix it, just replace the /etc/init.d/S09wifi file line 99 by

        wpa_supplicant -B -i "$interface" -c "$wpa_file" -Dwext
      

      My dongle is a TL-WN725N with a realtek r8188eu ship.

        Hi,

        Thanks. Does that apply for any wifi interface ?

          @OyyoDams -D is used to specify the driver type.
          We can see in this documentation https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/wpa_supplicant#Manual,
          "west" driver is deprecated even if it's the best solution for wide compatibility.

          I think, the best solution is to update the script to changed the driver argument when the connection fails with a wrong driver issue.
