hi all, same kind of problem for few days, trying to make wifi & bt to work on several boxes i have here : mini m8s (s905) , x96 mini (s905w), i have mecool and beelikn minimx too
No luck for the moment, i'm going to try to use the box for Domoticz usage (installed it and had the webpage working but i have trouble with armbian and internal box hw)
i bought them long time ago, not very sure if each of them support wifi (i think so ) and Bluetooth (not sure, at least x96mini doesn't)
Armbian worked well (i found the correct dtb fil for each box)
so i parsed alors of pages from this forum, and tried few things for wifi , i'm on the mini m8s classic box and hope some advices :
i think the mini m8s s905 box has 8723bs
so i tried "modprobe 8723bs"
i tried first : 5.64 image but after few reading i got the point i needed to go to a 3.14 kernel and now sd card has it :
took from
