Hi, I am looking for a WiFi module (not dongle) to integrate in a PCB that uses a Raspberry Pi Compute Module. Requirements: - very important is for it to have the drivers available for the Compute Module (i.e. Raspberry Pi equivalent) running Raspbian. - ideally a USB connection (I already have integrated a USB hub). If not the highest possible speed interface (ideally at least 4-5 Mbps level). - connector for external antenna. The PCB enclosure is metal so needs to be placed outside the PCB enclosure. - preferably (not necessarily) SMD Any parts suggestions? Many thanks :) |

Thank you blueskull, Any other suggestions? I could not find a driver for it for the Compute module (i.e. for the Raspberry Pi). |

The RTL8188 is supported by the linux kernel (in case you plan to run linux on your compute module) so no need to find a special driver. BR Jonas |

Thank you all :) have to use Raspbian, so any suggestions for any WiFi modules that do have a driver ready for Raspbian? Or is there a driver ready for Raspbian for the RTL8188 ? What about the ESP8266 series (from Express If Systems)? Like the ESP-WROOM-02U? Also ideall I need a module that has a connector instead of a built-in antenna because the enclosure is metal and the antenna needs to be external. Many thanks in advance for all additional info/feedback :) |
