After this it loops it for all mmc/usb devices and breaks. I need to manually copy old kernel files to /boot to get it to work again (through petitboot) Anything after 6.12.58 seems to break for me. Thoughts?

If you can experiment with the board, then try few other kernels: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Armbian-Config/System/#alternative-kernels and report where wifi will be up.

Wow... OK, this is far beyond what I understand. I see a mediatek wifi dongle in USB 2-1 I think the plugged in dongle. But have no idea were the internal WiFi adapter is and how to activate it. It worked in a previous version of armbian ubuntu but not the latest I just found out... Ernst-Jan
