Hello all, this is my first pi build so bear with me.
I'm trying to install the drivers for my USB wifi-bluetooth dongle (Edimax EW-7611ULB) to use with my Freeplay CM3 build. However, all the information I can find on the web implies that either a wifi or ethernet connection is required to install such drivers. (see https://edimax.freshdesk.com/support/sol...spberry-pi). Obviously my wifi isn't working yet, and the CM3 has no ethernet, so how does that work?
I'm sure there must be a way to manually install drivers onto the image via a PC/Mac or USB thumb drive, but seeing as I'm new to this I could use some guidance. Is there a different wifi/bluetooth dongle I should have bought that works OTB without installing drivers?
Thanks so much for your time!
