Raspberry pi and the RP1 ethernet adapter

[grooveman]

Hi.  I installed Armbian on a raspberry pi 5.

 

Everything went smoothly, but straight-away, I see that dmesg is filled with this error:

 

brcmfmac: brcmf_set_channel: set chanspec 0x100c fail, reason -52

 

I'm noticing some inconsistencies on the network, and I'm not sure if this is behind it.  I tried installing the firmware-brcm80211, but it didn't help -- in fact, I think it might have made it worse.

 

I've looked all over, but I cannot see any useful information regarding this.  It has no usb devices attached, not using and gpio pins or anything fancy.  It is just a node on the network that is presenting information on a television screen in our shop.

 

It looks like the driver is not a good match for the hardware (that's my guess, anyway).  In the past, I've seen errors like this fixed with the firmware I mentioned above.  No such luck this time.  Any way I can fix this?

 

Thanks.

Its a bug. You need to make sure the wireless country code is set, even when its not being used.

Yes, I saw that, but I'm not using wireless.  I have wireless turned off completely in nmtui

[c0rnelius]

Try disabling wireless completely using the config.txt: dtoverlay=disable-wifi-pi5

If you don't need bluetooth disable that to: dtoverlay=disable-bt-pi5

 

Not enabling it in nmtui is not enough, the module is still active 'firmware is still getting loaded' and can't find a country code.
