However, now this model has changed to Edimax EW-781Un V2 which couldn't be detected by IOT2050 anymore. Do you have any idea how to install its driver of this model to IOT2050?

The used module of the V2 stick is RTL8188EU. So I'd try to add CONFIG_RTL8188EU=m to iot2050_defconfig_extra.cfg and start building the image. I don't know if this is really enough. You can also open an issue on github, with the request to add this USB WiFi dongle to the supported ones. Best regards!
	Not working for IOT2050 support anymore from March 1st, 2024. I really enjoyed the time supporting you! :)

Also, the typical process to build the driver manually needs kernel headers and I found out that the meta-2050 image does not come with any kernel headers and am not able to install them. Any pointers in this direction?
