For everyone else reading this: This shouldn't be necessary since we added those files for legacy kernel already and they should come to your installations through 'apt upgrade'.

Well, no apt upgrade without WLAN on the NanoPi Air

 

@martinayotte, I'll post my boot log tomorrow.

Short update. Adding the fw_bcm43438a1_apsta.bin and fw_bcm43438a1.bin from

https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-files/tree/master/others/brcm/lib/firmware/ap6212

in /lib/firmware/ap6212/ works for me on Legacy 5.25.

 

I however still can't get it to work on Mainline. No matter where I copy the two files.

Unfortunately I can't get it to work at all.

I was unable to get the internal WiFi module to work on a Nano Pi Neo Air (with AP6212A) using any of the Armbian distributions.

 

Exactly the same situation here. NanoPi Neo Air board with AP6212A and Armbian_5.27.170428 nightly.

The fw_bcm43438a1_apsta.bin and fw_bcm43438a1.bin in /lib/firmware/ap6212/ are present

Bootlog:
[FAILED] Failed to start LSB: Patch firmware for ap6212 adapter.
