I don't think this is technically the correct list for this as this is
more about acessibilty bugs in ubuntu. I know you can get user support
for ubuntu-mate in #ubuntu-mate on irc in freenode. However I don't orca
reads the incoming chat messages to the chanel. And this can be an
accessbility problem to provide support. I also looked on
lists.ubuntu.com and there was not an ubuntu-mate list there.
To solve Glen wifi problem we need to know like the exact chipset of
the wifi in you your usb and also helpful would be what arm version the
ubuntu-mate is that works and what ubuntu mate you installed. I
overheard the rasperi pi image does not come with many kernel modules
built in for external stuff so that might be the problem getting wifi
working if it does not have the module built for your usb wifi. If you
have an accessible ubuntu computer you cannot connect to wifi with if
you install the inxi package and run inxi -n you will get the module you
need may to build or add to the kernel for say the rasperi pi image
unfortanetly but doing something like this may be a good way to get the
pi flavor maker to work.

oSubject: no WIFI in Ubuntu Mate on Banana PI

Hi,
I am running Ubuntu Mate 15.04 on a Banana PI M1, 1GB of RAM.
It runs pretty well with Orca.
Only one thing so far, it connects via Ethernet cable plugged into the
router, but will not connect via WIFI.
I have a Belkin USB WIFI dongle, which works in pretty much anything
else I have ever used it on.
When I go to system, preferences, Internet, and networks,
it only shows the LAN.
I tried adding the wireless by hand, and I'm sure I got everything in
right, but it still will not connect.
I go to the terminal and run:
iwconfig
and it tells me
no wireless extensions
on all the items it scanned.
I hope someone has some ideas to get it going.
Thanks.
Glenn
