    Does anyone know why the current nanopi neo 2 image does not include the ath9k_htc driver? The nanopi neo image included it. 


    Nanopi Neo 2 uses different chip and architecture (H5, arm64) kernel and configurations are not and can't be always the same. This is config for Neo 2 kernel and it looks like this module is there:

    https://github.com/igorpecovnik/Debian-micro-home-server/tree/dev does not contain armbian-config, but debian-config (which contains the same code). So ... how should I send a Pull Request?


    This is it. It's only renamed upon install. The idea behind is to develop generic architecture independent installer and config with build in special things for Armbian, when used within.

    Yes, there are typos and bugs to hunt down and it's better if this is done by somebody else but me. I can overlook even most obvious one at this stage :) 

     

    Edit: If someone has time - we could move up a little. Instead of toggling we could provide adjusted text related to reality:

    Odroid XU4 + WiFi USB dongle Realtek RTL8812AU

    not sure if the OS is actually the problem.


    In most cases, problems are drivers and WiFi drivers are among most critical ones. It's actually hard to find a good working one.  RTL8812AU was working fine on my brief testing ... but don't actually use it.

     

    Not with build in driver, but with this one: https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au It's easy to compile within armbian, just blacklist the on which is build in if necessary. And make sure you have good - original power supply, USB3 powering is a must.

    Orange pi zero wifi connection issue

    Or would it be more accurate to say it'll be acceptable


    Orane Pi Zero as an IOT node is good enough. To be more precise, transferring data in a client mode with low speed and low range demand, is acceptable, mainline (still development)  kernel is recommended in any case.

    There are three kernels (two "legacy" 3.14 and mainline) for those boards (cubox, hummingboard 1 and 2, ...) while none is perfect ... Your board is directly supported (have it's own board configuration) only in Solidrun development kernel, which we don't use due to problems with PCI stack. Well, it's possible to build an image with that kernel, but we don't provide downloads and/or support. I don't use that kernel in any way.

     

    I would advise you to go for 4.9.5 -> can be upgraded to 4.10.9, but there you will also need to force loading DTB to make this board boot. I'll try to make this process simpler in the future or make a separate DTB files for all those "new" boards, which might need special treatment. But it's some work and I don't have any of this hardware to make a test.
