Timbers Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hi, i tried to use wlan0. I added an "ap6210" in /etc/modules. I added in /etc/network/interfaces auto wlan0 allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-ap-scan 1 wpa-scan-ssid 1 wpa-ssid mywlanssid wpa-psk andthepassword During loading i see two lines about ap6210 INFO Loading Module 6210 (or similarly) Fatal Module Ap6210 not found I wonder, how can I add the needed files? I am using this Image: http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2014/09/07/banana-pi-debian-sd-image/ Debian wheezy 4.1.2 In the discription is a hint, that everything should available. Many thanks in advanced for an hint. Im not very involved in linux. Regards, Timbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 There is a different wireless driver in kernel 4.x+ (actually 3.16+) brcmfmac but unfortunately it's a litle buggy at the moment. Looking and waiting for a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbers Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 As I understtod, that the 4.x is not good for WLAN. Now I installed the 3.x Image. But unfortunately the same Problem. I added the ap6210 in /etc/modules Then i changed the /etc/network/interfaces and enabled the auto wlan0 und so on. During reboot i recognized the problem with the ap6210 and then - i received a lot of blocks with numbers. And the system was dead. I must put my disk into another linux, changed the settings back. Now it was possible to boot the banana. So what is wrong? Thank in advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Huh, I am a bit confused. Image with kernel 3.4 should work normally but it's possible that you need to use this module: bcmdhd Its from Cubietruck which is practically identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbers Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 I am sorry - I have not so much experience with linux adminstration. Huh, I am a bit confused. Image with kernel 3.4 should work normally but it's possible that you need to use this module: bcmdhd Its from Cubietruck which is practically identical. Did that mean I should add bcmdhd in the /etc/modules and then therefore also add the auto wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Yes, I'll simplify this procedure some day. Wrote on mobile phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbers Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Okay I tried it. I added bcmdhd to /etc/modules at the and of this file. Unfortunately i receive an error.

Igor Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Than let's check which modules do you load. What's inside your /etc/modules or better what's loaded: lsmod It should be: cpufreq_userspace 3524 0 bcmdhd 539724 0 sunxi_ir 4037 0 bnep 14462 2 hidp 17640 0 rfcomm 58686 0 bt_gpio 2741 0 wifi_gpio 6375 2 bcmdhd,bt_gpio hci_uart 25000 0 bluetooth 264185 12 bnep,hidp,hci_uart,rfcomm and which script.bin are you using. Where is /boot/script.bin pointing to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbers Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Okay: # lsmod Module Size Used by cpufreq_userspace 3524 0 bnep 14462 2 a20_tp 3365 0 8021q 18593 0 garp 6072 1 8021q stp 2032 1 garp llc 5365 2 stp,garp sunxi_ir 4037 0 hidp 17640 0 rfcomm 58686 0 hci_uart 25000 0 bluetooth 264185 12 bnep,hidp,hci_uart,rfcomm hid_roccat_koneplus 6978 0 hid_roccat_common 1364 1 hid_roccat_koneplus hid_roccat 4768 1 hid_roccat_koneplus spidev 6366 0 srcipt.bin is pointing to lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jul 12 08:02 script.bin -> /boot/bin/bananapi.bin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 OK. than you need to load some extra modules - in this order: hci_uart gpio_sunxi bt_gpio wifi_gpio rfcomm hidp sunxi-ir bonding spi_sun7i bcmdhd You can skip some but first try this order.
