Update to LMS install - I noticed after sometime that the usual method of mounting a NAS share by adding to the fstab file doesn't actually work. If you use mount -a at the command line then the mount works. I can't find any workaround within fstab itself to fix

More scratching ... The OP2 seems to use the brcmsmc wifi drivers for sqpOS - wifi setup works When JfJ is used on the OP2 then the rt2800usb drivers are used - impossible to set wifi settings I tried to find a way to load the brcmsmc modules in JfJ but was just stabbing in the dark.. Maybe

Still itching Seems the OP 2 uses different wifi drivers than the Joggler. I've got Roobarb's bionic 5.4 working with wifi. It seems the wifi drivers are only available with kernels after 4. So, and it's a big ask I know, would it be possible to provide JfJ with the later bionic
