    Now, it may need some additional kernel driver. I use a no-name wireless dongle that supposedly is an RTL8812 which is in the image builds, but it needs the RTL8814 kernel driver which is not, so I end up having to manually install it each time I flash a new release.
    I downloaded this stable release:
    http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool...0114-2_all.deb
    But how did you install in on the box?
    Unzip and copy all files manually to respective folders, or only few of them like the /lib/firmware/rt3070.bin?

    No - don't install anything from Debian! That was just the source where I got the info on Ralink drivers! Just download the RT2800 driver from the Openvix driver repository and install it.

    It's in the plugins list you screen grabbed earlier. Just download and install from there.

    edit - my post was intended for the OP.

    Just to be clear - you installed ALL of the drivers? If you did do that, then maybe uninstall all except RT2800. Or start with a clean image and just install RT2800. Otherwise contact VU+ and ask them to supply a driver suitable for your particular model.

    I tried as you said.
    Removed them all exept the RT2800
    Fresh image with RT2800 as only extras via ipk-file
    Then at the end also added the RT3070 as suggested earlier.

    Now I will contact Vu+ or maby grab driver files from the Vu+ Zero 4k. Cause it works there.
