Hello, I’ve bought a BrosTrend wifi adapter to have 5ghz on my Raspberry Pi 2 running osmc. The problem I have is I’m not able to install the wifi driver. If I’m not wrong I need to install 8821cu driver but after some attempts I couldn’t get it working.
Can someone help me with this? 
Hi,
With the dongle plugged in, please provide the output of:
lsusb
It may need installing, so if you get command not found, please install with:
sudo apt-get install usbutils
Thanks Tom
This is what I get with the lsusb:
osmc@osmc:~$ lsusb

I think it’s the firmware-misc-nonfree package you need to install.
