[brcmfmac not working after upgrade to Armbian 5.70]

I added armbian stretch/utils repository to my apt sources (I had only stretch/main before).

This caused upgrade of my hostapd from Debian to Armbian version, and apparently this fixed the situaton (wlan0 is properly initialized in AP mode and included into br0).

However I did not test actual WiFi clients there yes, as this system is remote.

Also did not test USB WiFi adapters as I go with onboard WiFi only.

hostapd.conf is very short :

 

logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=2
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
bridge=br0
ssid=xxxxxxxx
channel=7
wpa=2
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_passphrase=yyyyyyyyyyyy

Having the same problem as rom

 

nl80211: Set mode ifindex 4 iftype 3 (AP)
nl80211: Setup AP(wlan0) - device_ap_sme=1 use_monitor=0
nl80211: Subscribe to mgmt frames with AP handle 0x1bd2038 (device SME)
nl80211: Register frame type=0xd0 (WLAN_FC_STYPE_ACTION) nl_handle=0x1bd2038 match=
nl80211: Register frame command failed (type=208): ret=-22 (Invalid argument)
nl80211: Register frame match - hexdump(len=0): [NULL]
nl80211: Could not configure driver mode

 

interface wlan0 remains 'down' and is not included into bridge 'br0'

 

linux-image-next-sunxi 5.73 , kernel version 4.19.17-sunxi , hostapd 2:2.4-1+deb9u2

 

should we add some new options on loading module 'brcmfmac' ?

Same problem have I

After upgrade of kernel 4.14 to 4.19, the name of firmware file seems to have been changed, and now it is a bit unclear where to get this file (or would just renaming/hardlinking /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43362-sdio.bin into brcmfmac43362-sdio.clm_blob be enough ?)

My hardware is also Cubietruck as of 2013.

[OrangePi+ 2E (H3) crashes on 4.14 with INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU]

I had similar experience on my Cubietruck A20 (rcu_sched stalls and rejected forks)

It happened after my first reboot with kernel 4.14.15-sunxi (after some uptime with kernel 4.13.16)
I just run 'sudo cruft' at that time

Then I rebooted the board locally by its power switch, and nothing similar happened after that
