I am experiencing an issue where the Intel BE200 Wi-Fi module stops working on the NanoPi R5C after upgrading to the latest Armbian v26.2.1 with newer kernels. The iwlwifi driver fails to initialize the device due to a missing configuration profile. Environment: Board: NanoPi R5C OS Version: Armbian v26.2.1 Wi-Fi Module: Intel BE200 Failing Kernels: v6.19.0-edge-rockchip64, v6.18.10-current-rockchip64 Working Kernel: 6.12.58-current-rockchip64 Actual Behavior & Logs: When booting with v6.18.10-current-rockchip64 or v6.19.0-edge-rockchip64, the Wi-Fi interface does not show up. Checking dmesg reveals the following iwlwifi probe failure (error -22): [ +0.001360] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Detected crf-id 0x2001910, cnv-id 0x2001910 wfpm id 0x80000000 [ +0.000070] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: PCI dev 272b/00f4, rev=0x472, rfid=0x112200 [ +0.000012] No config found for PCI dev 272b/00f4, rev=0x472, rfid=0x112200 [ +0.026664] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: probe with driver iwlwifi failed with error -22 pi@nanopi-r5c:~$ ls /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0* /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-100.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-96.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-100.ucode.zst /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-96.ucode.zst /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-101.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-97.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-101.ucode.zst /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-97.ucode.zst /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-83.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-98.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-83.ucode.zst /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-98.ucode.zst /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-86.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-c101.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-86.ucode.zst /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-c101.ucode.zst /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-90.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-c102.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-90.ucode.zst /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-c102.ucode.zst /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-92.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-c103.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-92.ucode.zst /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0.pnvm /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-94.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0.pnvm.zst /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0-94.ucode.zst Workaround: Downgrading the kernel to 6.12.58-current-rockchip64 via armbian-config completely resolves the issue, and the BE200 module works as expected. It seems there might be a regression or missing iwlwifi config definitions for the BE200 in the recent rockchip64 kernel builds. I would appreciate it if you could look into this. Thank you!

Hi, Just received my Nanopi R5C. Flashed the Debian 12 (Bookworm) Minimal/IOT images with Armbian Linux v6.12 from here https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-r5c/. Everything works well except that I could not get the WAN port working. Anyone has any idea? BTW, the Nanopi R5C looks different from the image showed on https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-r5c/. Mine has only 2 x 2.5Gb ports instead of the 3 port. The image on the page looks like a NanoPi R5S... Just a side note. Cheers.
