Hi @angelofsky1980 :
I have a problem with my linksys AE6000 usb dongle:
Before Ver 2.0.0 I Used my old linksys WUSB600N V2 and it worked just fine.
after upgrading To blackhole ver 2.0.0 the box didn't have the driver to recognize my dongle (I did install the RT2870 v2.4.0.1 driver you posted before but it didn't recognize the dongle anyway ) so I switched to linksys AE6000 and until ver 2.1.2 it was fine and worked perfectly.
After Ver 2.1.1 on every image since then (2.1.2 , 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 ) it does detect my dongle BUT when I want to search for AP or do anything depends on wireless dongle the box hangs and I have to turn of the box from the back. so basically there is something wrong with the driver from ver 2.1.2 because when I flash back to ver 2.1.1 everything is fine.
Linksys AE6000 ----- according to this site I think is a MediaTek MT7610U.

I've bought two of them with a Buffalo AC router one year ago (approx) and the device into my SoloSE with BH 2.1.3 works very good (5Ghz SSID used).
I've tried also with my second device recently (BH 2.1.4) and seems work regularly but I'm not sure and I should make a new device check.

Thanks for replay.
I don't know what is wrong but I check the dongle and I'm sure it is ok and this hanging and freezing problem only appear on version 2.1.2 and higher.
so now i stuck with version 2.1.1 , can't update the image and since these dongles from linksys were the best i could find not sure which usb dongle to buy now!!!
I double check this problem today with 2.14 and it still freeze the box every time i want to setup wireless networking.

Hi:
Sorry for delay
As soon as I enable the wireless in the system menu my UNO hangs and freezes and nothing on the remote or front panel works and I have to turn off the switch from the back !!!!!
As I said Beforre it was fine on image 2.1.1 but on higher image this problem appear and no matter what i do I can't use the usb dongle.
It gonna be really awesome if you take a look at the problem and tell me what to do.
I really want to upgrade to 2.1.4 but the wireless issue doesn't let me.
Thanks.
