Orange Pi Zero 3 WiFi Issues (unisoc_wifi Driver)


Recommended Posts

I’m running Armbian debian minimal image on my Orange Pi Zero 3, using the onboard WiFi (wlan0) with the unisoc_wifi driver. The WiFi consistently drops with logs like these:

 

[   11.048517] unisoc_wifi wlan0: mixed HW and IP checksum settings.
[259241.515808] unisoc_wifi wlan0: sprdwl_report_connection Asus failed status code:30!
[345665.483530] unisoc_wifi wlan0: sprdwl_report_connection sm_state (5), status: (2)!
[345665.483567] unisoc_wifi wlan0: sprdwl_report_connection Asus failed status code:1!

 

NetworkManager also reports:

 

link timed out.
Activation failed for connection 'Asus'

After the crash, restarting NetworkManager doesn’t resolve the issue. Trying modprobe -r unisoc_wifi fails, saying the module is not found. The only way to fix it is to reboot the system.

My USB WiFi dongle works fine without these issues, so it seems specific to the onboard WiFi.

 

Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution for this driver?

 

I'm getting to the point I'm going to write a cron job when the network drops to reboot the machine 🙃
