Hello, i want to use my board ultra96v2 with a wifi dongle to have internet, since my board wifi module does not work. Is there a suggested one? do I need a driver? thanks in advance.

This is more of a general Linux thing. Check what drivers are installed, and purchase a WiFi adapter that is compatible with that, to improve your chances of success. Otherwise, expect a more uphill struggle…

Hello, my board is affected by the issue described in https://www.avnet.com/wcm/connect/314f69d3-c745-44ed-a3ce-cd0c40b6088e/Errata+24001+U96+WiFi.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&ContentCache=NONE&CACHE=NONE&CACHEID=ROOTWORKSPACE-314f69d3-c745-44ed-a3ce-cd0c40b6088e-o-xcAr2. Avnet support confirmed this a few days ago. Anyway, I require Wi-Fi functionality to use my boards, so I’m looking for possible solutions.

I see. Thanks for the clarification. I would also agree with @shabaz then regarding finding something that you could plug in that contains a simple know good driver in the OS your are targeting. Another option if you have access would be to potentially get the OSC swapped out to get your board functional.
