In my case, a fresh 5.7.6 build on my OPi2E, the WiFi is working, although I'm using "old school" /etc/network/interfaces with NetworkManager disabled ...

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.
