Finally, I've found the error... Buster versions doen't include the correct driver for RTL8188eu WiFi chip.
I have a USB WiFi Dongle with this chip.

It's necessary to install the correct driver from:
http://downloads.fars-robotics.net/wifi-...u-drivers/

Can you include it in new releases?

Regards.

Nice find.

A quick search of the RaspberryPi.org forums shows 358 hits on "8188eu".

I don't know how Tim feels about this, but I'd think he would be uncomfortable trying to carry along drivers which are outside the RPi repo. Then moOde developers would have to start tracking kernel/driver mismatches over time. 

You found the good source of compiled drivers maintained by "Mr. Engman", who's been doing this for nearly a decade. Maybe we should just point to that info (and Mr. E's post in the RPi forums) either in the setup notes or on this site.

Kent
