Thanks for the report, hopefully its just the firmware that required. This is no longer installed by default for ralink, as firmware-misc-nonfree contains mostly intel/nvidia firmware.

Please try installing the package, reboot system then retry:

G_AGI firmware-misc-nonfree
reboot

--

NB: i'll make firmware-misc-nonfree default install for future images.

8MB, but, needed to prevent user having issues with missing ralink firmware.

8,155 kB of additional disk space will be used.

i guess it should be the package called firmware-ralink ... isn't it?

---this was for Jessie. @Fourdee's is the correct one! Whoopsie!

@Fray2000 in console try to install via this:
apt-get install firmware-misc-nonfree

don't forget to reboot after... ;)

@SuBLiNeR

this was for Jessie

Yep, Stretch:
firmware-ralink is a virtual package for firmware-misc-nonfree
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/firmware-ralink

Perfect, it works thanks ! and is it possible to insert a command in the dietpi.txt file after burning the image to install this package on first boot?

[Fourdee]

@Fray2000

We'll update the image to v6.6 and include the package by default. Few days.

[Fray2000]

@Fourdee Thanks

I'll mark this as closed.
