@nick a Thanks will check it out, Did you post it anywhere or do I need to ask them directly?

Seeking SKW (SWT6621 / EA6521) SDIO Wi-Fi driver source or Linux 6.x port Hi all, I’m running Nick's Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_Tanix-tx6s-axp313_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_server.img.xz on a TV box that originally shipped with Android using kernel 5.15 AIDA64 run on Android gives: System Device Type: TV Manufacturer: Oranth Model: TX68 Brand: ADT-3 Board: exdroid Device: adt3 Hardware: sun50iw9p1 Platform: apollo Product: adt3 Installed RAM: 4 GB Total Memory: 3891 MB Available Memory: 2512 MB Internal Storage Total Space: 54.22 GB Internal Storage Free Space: 52.57 GB Bluetooth Version: 4+ Wi-Fi works perfectly under Android, but not under Armbian — the onboard Wi-Fi chip (connected over SDIO) is a SeekWave SWT6621, also known as SKW or EA6521. From the Android side, I can see the driver is provided in binary form via: /vendor/bin/hw/android.hardware.wifi-service-lazy /vendor/etc/init/init.wlan.common.rc /vendor/etc/firmware/SWT6621*_SDIO.bin and the kernel logs show active skw_scan and skw_dump_survey messages when Android is running. However, when booting Armbian, wlan0 never appears — only eth0 and virtual interfaces. This strongly suggests that the SKW SDIO driver needs to be rebuilt or ported for kernel 6.x. What I’m looking for: Has anyone already ported or rebuilt the SKW (SWT6621 / EA6521) SDIO driver for Linux 6.x / Armbian? If so, could you please share your source, patches, or build instructions? If the work is in progress, I’d be very happy to help or test — I have the Android image and full /vendor contents available for reference. Any leads on SeekWave source releases, OEM SDKs, or community ports would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any guidance — I’d rather reuse or help finish existing work than start from scratch if someone has already begun tackling this. Best Regards John

Orange pi 5 wifi now supports injection mode using nexmon. Kali distro available from setup menu.

Apologies for being late to the party, and please excuse me for commenting on something which may already have been fixed. What is the difference between enabling the flag, and allowing whatever apps to work if they can, and disabling it so they certainly can't work? Seems to me that enabling it would make most sense, since H3 SOCs support it.

Guys, please do keep us all updated on the rk3528. I was just about to buy a job lot of boards for a grid computing project when I found it's not supported yet. I found that my old TV rk32xx box was well supported, so am prepared to wait.

Sorry for being late to the party on this, but I can confirm that rockchip is better supported than Amlogic. My old Android 7 1GB/4GB MXQ TV box works great out of the box with the latest build after installing the step-nand loader.This is a rockchip 32xx build, great menu-driven setup tools, literally working within 15 minutes. Kudos to Jock and co. This is a hobby for me, I'm more interested in learning Linux than having a home server doing real work, I thought about SBCs but pi looked like a boy scout project and other SBCs too expensive with features I don't need. Modern MXQ boxes are cheap and my online vendor has a great return policy, so why not? I just ordered an updated box with 4GB ROM for $10. Running with a class 10 64GB SD card, this will be another fun opportunity. Take care!
