Well, I'm now running on Armbian_5.41.1_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20180421.img and that has the driver included - now modprobe ssv6051 works and ifconfig shows wlan0 which was previously not shown. I haven't yet been able to get it to connect to anything, so it seems there's some further configuration issue to deal with. The ethernet port works fine, so networking is basically ok. Unrelated to the wifi driver - any ideas about how I might get the all USB ports working? One works, the other three don't work.

Thanks again Saurabh. I've tired: Armbian_5.37_S9xxx_Debian_stretch_3.14.29_icewm_20180209.img.xz from https://yadi.sk/d/pHxaRAs-tZiei/mali-6/5.37 - it boots! So it seems kernel version is an issue with this box. So far, three different images from https://yadi.sk/d/pHxaRAs-tZiei/20171226 all boot, they're all kernel 3.14.29. Nothing newer boots (tried 4 or 5). That included Armbian_5.37_S905_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.79_server_20180209.img.xz - only very slightly newer than 3.14.29. So, now on Armbian_5.37_S9xxx_Debian_stretch_3.14.29, but still no wifi. root@amlogic:~# modprobe ssv6051 modprobe: FATAL: Module ssv6051 not found in directory /lib/modules/3.14.29 Next, going to try: https://yadi.sk/d/pHxaRAs-tZiei/mali-7 Armbian_5.41.1_S9xxx_Debian_stretch_3.14.29_xfce_20180417.img.xz

No images newer than 20171226 boot with this box Just sits at the OEM logo screen. Is there any way to install the ssv6051 driver for the system built from an older image?

Thanks Saurabh, but I've already tried various newer images and can't get any to boot at all (OEM logo shows, nothing else). Not sure if I've tried the very latest builds, so will do that. This box is based on the p281 board (according to the Android "about" page) and is branded as MXQPro 4k. I have tried with no dtb, gxl_p212_1g.dtb and gxl_p281_1g.dtb - the last of those presumably the correct file for this board. The only image that I've been able to boot is Armbian_5.37_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20171226.img. With that image it seems to make no difference which dtb I use, or none - works, but no wifi, remote doesn't work , and only 1 of the 4 USB ports work. The one USB which works is at the back of the box next to the SPDIF socket, the other 3 are on the side of the box with the SD ram socket. Going to try again now with Armbian_5.41_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_4.9.40_server_20180315.img

@Arkimede Could you please write a summary of the steps you went through to get the on-board WiFi working? Specifically, I get: $ sudo modprobe ssv6051 modprobe: FATAL: Module ssv6051 not found in directory /lib/modules/3.14.29
