Any experience on WIFI dongle USB and SDIO that works well on both PYNQ 2.7 and PYNQ 3.0.1?

Thankyou

In short PYNQ 2.7 or higher version can use USB dongle MT7601U or any USB WIFI that mounted normally.

IP of WIFI dongle is normally connected and dhclient is also working normal.

However, there is a bizarre behavior.
