    I purchased this WiFi/Bluetooth for my pi, the WiFi also works with my Libre w/ both versions of Ubuntu. Currently using 16.04 because of reboot issues. I haven't looked into the Bluetooth yet. I cannot remember if it worked on the original eMMC android, and I have already installed my Ubuntu to it. I plan on trying out atvExperience soon and I will let you know.

    Note: occasionally on reboot it will hang just before Mate screen. I have found rebooting w/o this plugged in it has not had the issue. I plug it in after my desktop is up and it is found and setup automatically.

    I purchased it on Amazon, but I will have to dig in my history to find the exact one that I bought.

    Remember that you need to enable 40MHz on your router or AP in order to get 150Mb/s for RTL8188EU. Otherwise it's only 72Mb/s for 20MHz.

    I have bought a RTL8188EU, but my pc doesn`t recognize it... Now I don’t know what to do to use it. I need a WIFI adapter...
    Edit: I found the solution. The drivers were old. I found this list :https://thinkmobiles.com/blog/best-free-driver-updater/ , with the best driver updater that you can have for your pc. This solved my problem in a matter of seconds. Now I can use this adapter to do my homework 😉. This driver software updater automatically updated the other old drivers from my pc, now it runs really fast and it is easy to use.
