Nicola Zilio Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Dear all, I have recently acquired an ODROID M1 board and flashed Armbian 24.5.3 on it to replace my old XU4 running Armbian 24.5.1. I've managed to port everything from the old XU4 to the new M1 except for two WiFi dongles. They worked just fine on the XU4 but the M1 just doesn't want to recognize them, I can see them when I run `lsusb` Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0bda:0811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

Thanks in advance! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeMan Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Have you tried installing armbian-firmware-full? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola Zilio Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 Yes armbian-firmware-full is already the newest version (24.5.1) though I am not sure whether I need to do something specific after having installed that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola Zilio Posted July 30 Author Share Posted July 30 Flashing https://armbian.hosthatch.com/archive/odroidm1/archive/Armbian_23.11.2_Odroidm1_jammy_current_6.1.68.img.xz did solve the issue. However, running apt update && apt upgrade reintroduced the problem. Therefore, it would appear that some updated packages breaks compatibility with these WiFi dongles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they don't compile? I have open a PR and lets see what others say about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola Zilio Posted July 30 Author Share Posted July 30 Ok, so that means that, for now, I could simple hold that one package back (apt-mark hold linux-dtb-current-rockchip64 and/or linux-image-current-rockchip64) and in theory I should be good? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola Zilio Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Yes, it does seem to be challenging. I'm happy to wait for a fix :). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
