On my Banana Pro SATA works fine with the help of some userpatches. Take a look at the end of the thread http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/836-bananapro-wifi-armbian-5-kernel-tracebacks/. I have attached my userpatches there. Banana Pro uses a different DTS file, which is not as well maintained as those for the Banana Pi. Therefore, I have made a patch for sun7i-a20-bananapro.dts which this updated and solves some problems with the power supply. Viele Gruesse Axel

Problem solved for wireless network setup with wicd. It works on my build of Armbian_5.07_Bananapipro_Ubuntu_trusty_4.5.1_desktop with the current sources from the repository. By coincidence I have in the wicd settings "Preferences --> Advanced Settings" marked at "Wireless Interface" the checkbox "Use 0dBm to measure signal strengh". What a surprise, WLAN no longer breaks after 8 seconds. Also for Armbian_5.07_Bananapipro_Debian_jessie_4.5.1 I have WLAN. I had only create "/etc/network/interfaces" with the usual Wi-Fi settings. For the BananaPiPro I brought also SATA to run with some userpatches. See atached zip-file. Viele Gruesse Axel build.next.zip

I have exactly the same issue on my BananaPi Pro with the mainline kernel from Igors git repository (gorpecovnik/lib). I built it yesterday. uname -a Linux bananapipro 4.4.6-sunxi #1 SMP Sun Mar 27 13:48:45 CEST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux With wicd I can establish a WLAN connection to my Fritz!box. I can get from there an ip address via dhcp. But this connection breaks after about 8s. Even some data transfer is possible. Conclusion: a connection is possible, but not permanently. Why? Also Igors proposal to try hostapd, leads me to no satisfactory results. What hostapd I have to use? The already installed version? Or from the git (gorpecovnik/hostapd)? I've tried both versions. Any ideas why the connection breaks and even better a solution :-) Viele Gruesse Axel
