jmviper Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Hi Yesterday I've upgraded armbian kernel from 20.11.3 to 20.11.6 version in the available updates with apt update. Once PiPC restarted no wifi connection was found. The wifi dongle is a TP-LINK TL-WN725N and is found with lsusb: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter It was working with previous kernels but with 20.11.6 kernel is not listed in ifconfig so I've rolled back to 20.11.3 kernel Any hints or solucions ?? Thanks

Driver doesn't build on 5.10.y so it was disabled https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/c7cc1825cd9f69bebfdbe230543374da75cef566#diff-dd3456456bdbe6cb4602ef040892600f4bebca8fb5d02ee42adc8013ceca98fc You are welcome to check and fix. I have no plans to waste an afternoon on this anytime soon.
jmviper Posted January 4, 2021 Author Posted January 4, 2021 I had a ralink wifi dongle in a drawer. I've connected it and it is working like a charm. Thank you anyway for your great support in armbian development

filkint Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 Is there any chance of RTL8188EUS support coming soon?

Tim J Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 I have experienced a similar problem with the Realtek Semiconductor Corp RTL8188etv wireless LAN 802.11 network adapter. An SD card image using Armbian_20.08_1_Orangepipc_buster_current_5.8.5.img.xz detected the dongle. An SD card image using Armbian _20.11.6_Orangepipc_buster_current_5.10.4.img.xz was not recognized as a wireless adapter, although it did show up in the usp devices with lsusb. I am using an Orange Pi PC. Tim

Someone has to enable it back, build kernel(s), fix possible problems and submit a patch.

Igor Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 @Tim J @tsipizic @filkint @jmviper Fixed with https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/2635 for 5.10.y and 5.11.y. Available if you use self build images, otherwise wait for update. 2
