DUUUUUUDE. I COULD KISS YOU! Solved

http://sprunge.us/fHUg - seem better?

As in "apt-get upgrade", or is there something else you mean?

Found this thread, tried to follow @Igors instructions there, but "make scripts fails right away: root@bananapi:/usr/src/linux-headers-4.11.5-sunxi# make headers_check CHK include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/arm/tools/syscall.tbl', needed by 'arch/arm/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd-common.h'.

Gah! 'course I did! I ordered two more (of two different brands), so they're coming in the mail. I'll get reading in the meantime, thanks for pointing me in the right direction

So I'm back again! - The guy with the Banana Pi's he thought were Banana Pro's. I went and bought one of those stubby little WiFi dongles...fairly generic, Realtek 8192cus...but still (can't believe I'm saying this in public) can't get it up. I'm super frustrated. My current project with these boards is to set myself up some magical WiFi "security" cameras. Everything else works. Webcam works, "motion" detects and records, a little nodejs app manages some scheduling stuff, ssmtp sends me video recordings....but this blasted WiFi!! Help? I'll comment shortly with some technical details/diagnostic dumps(busy re-writing my backup img from last night), but for now, let me say I've tried a bunch of os-images, with a bunch of guides, and feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall.

Hey wait a minute. I think somebody lied to me...if this board has the massive yellow analog video port, that makes it a Banana Pi, not a Banana Pro, right? http://www.lemaker.org/product-bananapro-specification.html http://www.lemaker.org/product-bananapi-specification.html Gonna try Banana Pi images now. And maybe stab the guy that I got them from :-P

@tkaiser @Igor This is from latest Xenial image: http://sprunge.us/EBZF (still no wifi)

Perhaps when I get home I shall try the Xenial image, and see how it goes.

Comparing your sprunge upload to mine, I'm seeing some differences. Here's a crappy online text comparison. It's html, so you'd have to download it to view it: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B44A6_dFxb-7VS1tRzg1NEZNQ1JLaUhQTnlBS2IwMGlZNXIw Also, was that the currently available Debian Jessie from https://www.armbian.com/banana-pi-pro/ ?

If anyone has an older Banana Pro image with known working WiFi, that'd be super useful too

I have very little running on this Banana, and a 2.5A PSU, so it should be swimming in power like Scrooge McDuck. Have also tried swopping out PSU and micro USB cable.
