You can have progress indication with standard dd also: dd if=Image.bin of=/dev/sdx in another virtual terminal: ps a --> lookup the pid of dd process kill -SIGUSR1 <pid> will show progress under the original dd command. ok. this is just for freaks....

@zador, thank you very much; depmod -a did it! best, gnasch

Sorry I don't get it. How can this be repaired? Manually loading the modules with insmod will only work till the next reboot. How can a working configuration be restored? Thanks, gnasch

The upgrade indeed kills wifi and on most boots produces a kernel oops , probably by loading a wrong wifi module. I connected a screen to the opi pc and could just view the oops passing by. After a few reboots, by chance it stabilised and went through to login. so I rmmoded the rtl8192cu and all related modules and tried to load armbians special 8192cu module. The result was "module 8192 not found", but the module exists in /lib/modules/3.4.112-sun8i/kernel/net/wireless/ and an insmod /lib/modules/3.4.112-sun8i/kernel/net/wireless/8192cu.ko was successful and produced the wlan0. modprobe will not find the module. What is wrong? best, gnasch

@Pride: no need to blacklist, what does iwlist wlan0 show? gnasch

I can confirm that wicd does not work. I disabled it on my device and stayed with rodolphos config. Thanks, gnasch

@rodolfo: Thank you very much for your answer. Indeed it works and the joy is big! best wishes! gnasch

Hello everyone I am a proud new owner of an orange pi pc. I am new here and very grateful for your work on armbian which makes the board usable. So I sent a small bitcoin donation yesterday. Now, I am undertaking the first steps with armbian, using the new 5.1 version, trying to use wifi with 8189cu driver using one of those dongles: Dongle 1: china , lsusb: Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter B or alternatively dongle 2, a well known Edimax 7811un, lsusb: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS] both dongles worki well in raspi 2. When one of them is inserted in third boot, armbian will automatically load rtl8192 module, which does not produce a wlan interface. So according to rodolphos post #18 in this thread I have changed /etc/modules commenting out #8189es and inserting 8192cu at the top. I reckon this is not the same as rtl8192. now a wlan0 device shows up when entering "ifconfig". iwlist wlan0 then shows visible networks, like in this extract: Cell 03 - Address: 26:65:11:FA:EB:10 ESSID:"Gast" Protocol:IEEE 802.11bgn Mode:Master Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11) Encryption key:on Bit Rates:300 Mb/s Extra:wpa_ie=dd160050f20101000050f20201000050f20201000050f202 IE: WPA Version 1 Group Cipher : TKIP Pairwise Ciphers (1) : TKIP Authentication Suites (1) : PSK Extra:rsn_ie=30140100000fac020100000fac040100000fac020000 IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1 Group Cipher : TKIP Pairwise Ciphers (1) : CCMP Authentication Suites (1) : PSK IE: Unknown: DD6F0050F204104A0001101044000102103B00010310470010BAE2343E91CE490C1609EB8F5005378E1021000341564D1023000446426F78102400043030303010420004303030301054000800060050F20400011011000446426F78100800022388103C0001031049000600372A000120 Quality=96/100 Signal level=51/100 innocent networks removed for protection. Using wpa_passphrase I have created this gast.conf for wpa_supplicant. network={ ssid="Gast" psk=1a97bf36071e3e957e4c68cd530c56d2e328a4fcde5540c18a103477c7cc23e5 } when now entering wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c gast.conf -d the driver cannot be opened and the response is like this: wpa_supplicant v2.3 random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant Initializing interface 'wlan0' conf 'gast.conf' driver 'default' ctrl_interface 'N/A' bridge 'N/A' Configuration file 'gast.conf' -> '/root/gast.conf' Reading configuration file '/root/gast.conf' Priority group 0 id=0 ssid='Gast' nl80211: Could not add multicast membership for vendor events: -2 (No such file or directory) nl80211: Remove monitor interface: refcount=0 netlink: Operstate: ifindex=4 linkmode=0 (kernel-control), operstate=6 (IF_OPER_UP) nl80211: Set mode ifindex 4 iftype 2 (STATION) nl80211: Failed to set interface 4 to mode 2: -19 (No such device) wlan0: Failed to initialize driver interface Failed to add interface wlan0 wlan0: Cancelling scan request wlan0: Cancelling authentication timeout So this is it. Of course I also tried "desktop" image with wicd automatic configuration which fails the same, but does not show any debug info. I would be thankful for any tips! best, gnasch

Hi Poxucis you may want to use the purple +5V Standby wire which works even when the arx supply is off. By pulling the green Power On wire to ground from your pi using and a transitor I then feed my power leds... Best wishes, gnasch
