hannah Posted December 6, 2020 Author Posted December 6, 2020 I also have thoroughly reviewed this earlier topic and still unable to resolve this WIFI issue. Please assist. ``` Armbian on S905W TVBOX (COOLEME / W95T ) https://forum.armbian.com/topic/6849-armbian-on-s905w-tvbox-cooleme-w95t/ ```

TRS-80 Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) You probably should read this (all of it) but especially #7. Cheers. Edited December 13, 2020 by TRS-80
jock Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 @hannah no way to get ssv6051 wifi on mainline kernel, not until someone writes a proper driver for it. ssv6051 driver exists on rockchip 4.4 kernel, but it is so poorly written that nobody never cared to rewrite it. That's a bit of a pity, because that wifi chip and its bigger brother (the ssv6256p) have quite reasonable performance.
hannah Posted January 3, 2021 Author Posted January 3, 2021 Okay sure I now understand why it's NOT possible. Appreciate response from @TRS-80 & @jock Perhaps admin can CLOSE this topic.
