[Orange PI +2E WIFI (RTL8189FTV) doesn't work on Armbian Focal (kernel 5.4.y)]

I have tested a lot of kernels starting from 4.14.65 and even 5.7.6 (current dev build) - no success. I don't have any idea how it happened, but the built-in module seems to have died. Sorry for false bug report.

In my case, a fresh 5.7.6 build on my OPi2E, the WiFi is working, although I'm using "old school" /etc/network/interfaces with NetworkManager disabled ...

 

5.7.6 - what's it?

A couple of years ago wifi worked without any problems on old version of Armbian,  but on the current version It doen't work completely.

Any suggestions?
