VaRusLAN Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I installed latest Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_vendor_6.1.43_minimal.img and I can't get wifi to work. The adapter is RTL8852BE. I installed armbian-firmware-full and the adapter is shown in lspci, but there is no wireless interface. armbian-config does not list wifi as an option. armbianmonitor -u 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaRusLAN Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Ok, so I saw that wifi works on latest kernel and I decided to give it a try. And now it works! I just had to delete vendor packages and install their edge counterparts armbian-bsp-cli-orangepi5-plus-vendor -> armbian-bsp-cli-orangepi5-plus-edge linux-dtb-vendor-rk35xx -> linux-dtb-edge-rockchip-rk3588 linux-image-vendor-rk35xx -> linux-image-edge-rockchip-rk3588 linux-u-boot-orangepi5-plus-vendor -> linux-u-boot-orangepi5-plus-edge 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaRusLAN Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 Switching to 6.8 kernel was not the solution. On 6.8 kernel there is a problem with the video and the idle cpu temperature is much higher than on the vendor kernel (44 °C vs 52 °C), so I had to switch back. I checked kernel binaries on 6.1 and 6.8, and there is no rtw_8852be.ko on 6.1 vendor kernel. 6.1 kernel config does not even mention it. I went to the official linux-orangepi repository, cloned it and found out that there is a support for RTL8852BE, it just needs to be enabled. I couldn't find how armbian repositories are being populated. Which git repository is being used to build vendor kernel? What revision? If someone could help me find it, I'll add the patch myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What revision? If someone could help me find it, I'll add the patch myself. apt.armbian.com is published at point releases, from this branch https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/v24.05 If you check it out, you will get identical what is on stable repository. If you want to go manual way, here https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/v24.05/config/sources/git_sources.json are information about sources. beta.armbian.com is published every x hours from trunk https://github.com/armbian/build If you want to see how this is done, peek into this code. Kernel 6.8 and 6.1 are very very different. Don't expect 6.8 to work better or that all functions will work. Some are not even developed - it is being developed from scratch for around two years now. Code is changing fast, so there is not possible to provide any support. Its too expensive and useless. If you want dig in, but expect troubles and very little response as not many people deal with. 6.1 is different. All 3588 share same problems ... more or less and there is a lot of support in forums. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsophila . Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip/tree/rk-6.1-rkr1/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw89 Should be here? I am not sure. I have the same issue about 8852BE 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolet75 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 See this thread, it is possible to add the needed driver from dkms, then WiFi somehow works: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
