Abu Rashid Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hi, I'm using the Ubuntu 16.04 image for Orange Pi Zero, and the wifi interface won't seem to accept to be put into Master mode. Is this a hardware limitation? Or do I need to update kernel or driver or something else? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no better drivers (than those on nightly development kernel 4.10.x, if you don't already use it) .

Abu Rashid Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Igor thanks for your (extremely) swift reply. I don't use nightlies, just using the image I downloaded. So in short no master mode until AllWinner release better specs for a driver to be written? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a question of "if", not "when". So far there are no indications that any kind of additional documentation will be released or that anyone is interested in wasting time with the provided driver.

taner97 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 i just kindly request that fix this broken open wifi connections(not having security-nor wep or wpa). I cant use my dorm internet due to that. it never associates with ap.(its for mainline nightlies. in legacy it connects) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
