Well, here is a hardware based solution. I modified the 3d case and added a usb port via usb to dip 2.54mm board and plugged in cheap Ralink mt7601u dongle which I prefer over typical realtek ones. The on-board wifi can be used anytime, too. The case can be downloaded from thingiverse: https://goo.gl/r6E6u9

I did a big mistake updating to 4.11. So called crappy Xradio has been working great for me with 4.10. Is there any possibility to undo the update?

Thanks, yes - slight connector placement inconsistencies from board to board are expected but nothing major. The bigger USB connector on mine has a twirl of about 7 degrees from the pivot but still fits fine.

Designed a case for it. Available on thingiverse if anyone interested - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1918590

The one that came with latest Armbian: zero@orangepizero:~$ sudo modinfo xradio_wlan filename: /lib/modules/3.4.113-sun8i/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/xradio/xradio_wlan.ko alias: xradio_core license: GPL description: XRadioTech WLAN driver core author: XRadioTech depends: mac80211 intree: Y vermagic: 3.4.113-sun8i SMP preempt mod_unload modversions ARMv7 p2v8 parm: macaddr:First MAC address (charp)

Got mine delivered (Lahore, Pakistan) earlier this week but only just managed to test it. Everything is running smooth so far except wifi which has huge latency problem. Tried disabling power management but no luck. I know it's just early days with xradio driver but is this known issue?
