Anyone have experience with this USB dongle? Seems like an easy way to add HaLow to devices but I can’t find very much online for how to run it on a Raspberry Pi.

There are a number of posts on this forum for how to run the morse driver on the RPI, but you will have to compile the kernel module yourself (and likely the mac80211 module) as well as supporting software. These are often talking about SDIO, but USB is basically the same except no device tree modifications (i.e. easier).
The simplest way would be to build the ekh-bcm2711 board for morse_openwrt, then grab the rpi-4-mmeval image it will generate.
See https://www.morsemicro.com/resources/appnotes/MM_APPNOTE-24_Linux_Porting_Guide.pdf for generic info.
I did a ‘crude as possible’ example of bring-up on Ubuntu 22 for an internal workshop recently: GitHub - wryun/morse-ubuntu-walkthrough: Example of bringing up 1.16 morse driver on Ubuntu · GitHub (this is not really intended to be used independently, but might be useful)
Also, Gateworks has done some useful changes for recent kernels/mac80211:
(we will release a new version of the driver shortly, and we’ll update our kernel with similar changes)

Oh wow thanks I didn’t realize we could use the same driver guides. I’ll first work on getting my hands on one of the usb cards.
Yes, sorry, what I should have led with is that it’s the same driver code you want. Just make sure it’s compiled with USB support.
