I'm trying to configure my Raspberry Pi 3B and Raspberry Pi Zero so that I can modify cmdline.txt, and have it install the drivers for my TP-Link adapter from first boot automatically. My Pi has faulty Bluetooth and WiFi, so I bought a TL-WN725N V3 adapter (which shows the 8188eus chip from lsusb) in the hopes of having a headless setup without needing an Ethernet cord. I'm trying to modify cmdline.txt to run an install.sh file from the boot folder but I'm not sure where to start. I'm using the drivers from http://downloads.fars-robotics.net/wifi-drivers/8188eu-drivers/

Is it possible to do this whilst keeping the default init_resize.sh?

I'm using Raspbian Lite flashed with the Raspberry Pi Imager.

Any help would be appreciated.

Don't know why you are following this method

Easier way is installing drivers once on clean image and clone that image. So whenever you flash the cloned image to new sd card it will already have the driver

  • Thanks, this is the approach I'll go for. Do you know the easiest way to make an image from Windows but be able to use it on smaller SD cards? I've heard that Win32 Disk Imager has issues with this, but I can always just use Linux.
