Hi everybody,
Since some time i have a problem with my OrangePi Zero2. Not sure about when it started exactly, but possibly it came with the latest kernel upgrade. Until then the device was working without any problems and absolutely stable.

Unfortunately i have no connection by cable, only with Wifi and possibly it is only the Wifi connection which isn't working anymore?

I found the following entries in /var/log/kern (which are the latest entries until the device restarts):

 

2025-02-10T19:54:40.037397+01:00 orangepizero2 kernel: [86427.304061] unisoc_wifi unisoc_wifi wlan0: sprdwl_report_connection sm_state (5), status: (2)!
2025-02-10T19:54:40.037459+01:00 orangepizero2 kernel: [86427.304105] unisoc_wifi unisoc_wifi wlan0: sprdwl_report_connection KNAECKEBROED failed status code:1!
2025-02-10T19:54:40.365435+01:00 orangepizero2 kernel: [86427.632069] sprdwl:sprdwl_fc_add_share_credit, 536, mode:1 closed, index:0, share it
2025-02-10T19:54:55.573468+01:00 orangepizero2 kernel: [86442.837864] warning: `iwconfig' uses wireless extensions which will stop working for Wi-Fi 7 hardware; use nl80211

 

is this a common issue with one of the latest updates or kernel?  

 

Here the link to the actual armbianmonitor -u  from this device:

Best regards,

possibly the same issue like here?

I have a mesh, could this cause this issue?  But why does it occur now and not in the last years?

I pinned the wifi connection now to one specific mac address and give it a try......

You should be able to set the mac address manualy. Make sure you have the one you need written down or emailed to yourself. I would use sudo armbian-config and check all your networking setting and see what your options are for setting the mac.

Also check for files in this directory: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/

I doubt problems has anything to do with networking stack. Its more down to the driver quality itself, perhaps (less possible) some changes in wireless section of kernel. This is 2nd worse wireless chip found on single board computers. The winner of worse is (in)famous Xradio, found on Orangepi Zero 1 and few others, for which we lost thousands of hours only to keep it barely functional. Opi tend to use the cheapest WiFi chips they can find ... Quality will probably always remain as is and keeping it build-able with modern kernels will always remain a challenge. This is the same with all wireless stuff. There is a nice project dedicated to Linux WiFi https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi where one can get some overview on the topic.
