Hi TKaiser / Igor,
FYI i manually prepared a patch for devices that use rtl2832u that i think may interest you to add this patch to the build process.
You can patch against legacy kernel 3.4.111 and give users a chance to get their device recognized.
Sorry, i can't couple with the automated armbian process yet, i usually do the things manually.
I hope this can be useful (and hopefully works for someone).
