WARNING: Update to 23.8.1 Bullseye with Linux 6.1.47-current-sunxi64 breaks WiFi

[Timo12357]

I just run an "sudo apt upgrade" and my 22.05 system was upgraded to 23.8.1 As a result WiFi stopped working. The wireless interface disappeared and can not be configured with armbian-config.

On the positive side it seems like the load bug is now fixed, load can now be 0.0.0 at its lowest as opposed to 1.1.1 before.

 

is there a way to revert back to the old kernel with Armbian?

Try using armbian-config

@Timo12357Thanks for reporting this. We are already aware of this issue. However there seems to be far more problem there for this board as I can observe on my OPi3 LTS. I am working on fixing the same. Meanwhile, you can try building the current kernel yourself with uwe5xxx drivers enabled or try installing linux-image-legacy-sunxi64 and linux-dtb-legacy-sunxi64 packages.

23.02.0 version is worked, bytheway

 

and i switched to nightly builds, installed legacy kernel (23.11.0 trunk 107) and it's worked too

Wifi for current and edge kernel is fixed and updated kernel is available from beta repository and in nightly builds. It will be pushed to stable later may be in few days or once 23.11 is released
