Some hp laptops including mine that use realtek wi-fi component don't have drivers included in the linux kernel.

The problem can be solved by building this github project after which just restart the computer and wi-fi will work without issues.

Supporting newer wifi-cards should also fix it i think. But yea would love this addition, since i've already had to buy 2 wifi adapters for my laptop to attain connection.

It isn't that hard for digabi to include new drivers. All other linux distros are doing it except digabi.
digabi, wake up! We need drivers! We don't want to spend money on wifi adapters because your os is shit!

@developerfromjokela if they won't do it then contributing to the project or working it might solve the problem.

@warriormaster12 True, but everyone doesn't have knowledge to do that. That's why digabi has its developers.

@warriormaster12 this has been open for a while. As stated in this blogpost we're upgrading the Abitti to Debian Buster. The firmware is available in the Buster so there are pretty good chances for getting this to work.

I hope there won't be any COVID-related delays for getting the Buster out. At the moment it looks good as most upper secondaries are operating normally and we will get a lot of feedback before the spring 2021 exams.

@mplattu Sorry for the late response but I was just able to try a couple of versions of new stable abitti release (Natrium and Polonium). Network drivers seems to not work on my device at least (my network card is: RTL8723DE)
