+
+Wi-Fi or Bluetooth drivers were not available at launch. These have been added later on, but were disabled by default, since kernel 6.6.13-danctnix1. The wifi driver is enabled by default since kernel 6.9.2-danctnix1.

+The original factory image ships with an older kernel, thus has no Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers.

+The latest factory image ships with a kernel which has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers, but they are disabled by default.

+If Wi-Fi is not working for you, verify your current kernel version with this command:

-Run this command to enable Wi-Fi for a single session (until the next time you reboot your PineTab): 
+If on a kernel version older than 6.6.13-danctnix1:

+
+If on a kernel version between 6.6.13 and 6.9.2:
+
+* Enable the driver manually once, and then update your system:
 
  $ sudo modprobe bes2600
+ # You can now connect to wifi.

-* The original factory image did not ship with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers. If your PineTab is still on an older kernel version (check `uname -a`, it should show 6.6.13 or newer), you can update the kernel using `pacman -Syu` and a supported Wi-Fi dongle, or flash the latest version of the factory image.
-* System hangs on reboot/shutdown (Wi-Fi / Bluetooth driver bug, only happens when the driver is enabled)
