This is awesome! Remarkable 2 is coming out soon. Hoping this might work with it as well. I think the WiFi is a hard trade off, since internet connectivity lets us pull new information. I saw Ethernet as supported in the guide, but there’s no Ethernet port right? What’s the way to transfer new information

I just mentioned this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24294868

The device is exposed over USB as a composite device, consisting of a virtual Ethernet port and a virtual serial port. Network communications may happen over that link, as well as SSH/SCP'ing files.

It also supports USB OTG, so one could plug in a libre-compatible Wi-Fi card and use that. Or, if one doesn't mind throwing their freedom under a bus, one could use the proprietary driver.

So there’s a proprietary Wi-Fi driver for Linux? The way it read I thought that was just out completely.
