PYNQ Version: 3.0.1
Board: PYNQ-Z2

Problem Description: I am experiencing a persistent issue with my PYNQ-Z2 board related to Wi-Fi connectivity. The board recognizes the Realtek RTL8188FTV Wi-Fi dongle, as confirmed by lsusb output:

yaml

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:f179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188FTV 802.11b/g/n 1T1R 2.4G WLAN Adapter
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
However, when attempting to scan for available Wi-Fi networks using:

sh

sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
I encounter the following error:

vbnet

wlan0 Interface doesn’t support scanning.
Steps to Reproduce the Problem:

Connect the Realtek RTL8188FTV Wi-Fi dongle to the PYNQ-Z2 board.
Run sudo iwlist wlan0 scan to attempt to scan for Wi-Fi networks.
Observe the error message: “Interface doesn’t support scanning.”
Technical Details:

PYNQ Version: 3.0.1
Driver Compilation: I have followed the instructions to compile and install the driver from the rtl8188fu repository but am still facing issues.
Error Message: wlan0 Interface doesn’t support scanning.
Additional Context: I have been struggling with this issue for the past three days without success. I have attempted various methods to resolve the problem, including checking driver installation, verifying network interface configuration, and exploring different scanning tools.

Network Configuration Issue: In addition, my PYNQ-Z2 board is connected to my laptop running Windows 11 via LAN. The laptop has internet access through Wi-Fi. I have tried all possible methods for internet sharing and network bridging between my laptop and the PYNQ-Z2 board. Since these methods did not work, I am attempting to use the Wi-Fi dongle as an alternative but am still encountering issues.
