Nanopi neo air wifi does not work

jts · November 22, 2017

Hi all,

I am trying get wifi working on Nanopi neo air with the Mainline kernel v4.12.12. I enabled brcmfmac driver in the kernel. Downloaded the corresponding firmware(brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin) for AP6212 from : https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/brcm. I have applied patch to the device tree to enable wifi (https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg563666.html)

I couldn't get the firmware loaded properly. Here's the log.

Should I be trying some different firmware?

Any input is much appreciated. Thank you.
