Igor Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 Several months ago we migrated from self maintained patch to "upstream" https://github.com/jwrdegoede/rtl8189ES_linux/tree/rtl8189fs Now. It is possible we are missing something ... As a temporal workaround - you can switch to some older kernel and wait until this is addressed.

Yarodin Posted June 30, 2020 Author Posted June 30, 2020 I have tested a lot of kernels starting from 4.14.65 and even 5.7.6 (current dev build) - no success. I don't have any idea how it happened, but the built-in module seems to have died. Sorry for false bug report.

Expand You may test AP mode (if not yet tested). For me AP mode does not work with embedded adapter (rtl8189FS), all looks like configured properly but clients unable to connect after multiple attempts, client mode works. My device is orangepizeroplus 5.4.43-sunxi64 aarch64, Armbian Buster 20.05.2. AP configured with systemd-networkd 245 and iwd 1.8 Another adapter (rtl8192cu) works fine with the same setup.
