I just got a Mister board recently. Pretty much everything working so far, over an ethernet line.
I'm trying to setup a usb wifi adapter. I downloaded the driver source. But when I go to the linux prompt on Mister it tells me the "make" command doesn't exist. I don't see it in /usr/bin. Neither is apt-get etc.
I've read this is an embedded linux rather than the full thing, but isn't there a way to run or install make? I see gcc is listed in the /proc/version.
Any help appreciated.

Re: WiFi driver install help
As long as the adapter is supported, you don't need to build a driver. Just run the wifi script.

D-Link DWA-171 HWVer: C1 / USB ID 0bda:1a2b does NOT work out of the box
Anyone can help me to solve this?
I have a usb wifi with this USB ID
1a2b but wifi script dont works, just appears "Press any key to continue" and goes back to default Mister screen.
I already located and edited the file wpa_supplicant.conf with the correct SSID and pass but to no avail... the wifi icon dont appear on top, only ethernet cable works for now.

Re: WiFi driver install help
Best bet is to find an adapter that works and jut use that. They’re very cheap, from memory the one I got from Terasic was $5-15 or so.
Imho mister is an appliance and dirtying it up with c compilers, source code, etc. and having to recompile your wifi module every time the kernel gets updated is just going to be ongoing pain you could solve for $peanuts
