Hi Paul

Thanks for the response. The hub is not powered but the wifi dongle doesn't draw much current. It works on another system. There is a camera and an IMU in addition to the wifi dongle on the hub. However, even if I have only the dongle connected, it still throws out errors when I issue the ifup command.

At boot-up it does throw out "Invalid RT chipset detected" errors... I have tried multiple Belkin USB-Wifi dongles but to no success.

Thanks
Azhar

Is the hub powered?

This script disables WiFi/BT, have not determined if it actually powers
it off though, the WiFi chip remains hot.

#!/bin/sh

# disable wifi
echo 0 >  /sys/class/gpio/gpio16/value
# disable bluetooth
echo 0 >  /sys/class/gpio/gpio164/value
