No wifi Rock 5B plus 26.04 Gnome 6.18.28

[Ernst]

I Installed this image and it works fine. Sadly the build in WiFi module is not working. I now use an external wifi dongle.

 

What could be the problem here?

Providing logs with 

armbianmonitor -u

 helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

Wow...

 

OK, this is far beyond what I understand.

I see a mediatek wifi dongle in USB 2-1 I think the plugged in dongle. But have no idea were the internal WiFi adapter is and how to activate it.

 

It worked in a previous version of armbian ubuntu but not the latest I just found out...

If you can experiment with the board, then try few other kernels:

and report where wifi will be up.

Hi Igor,

 

This worked! Falling back to 6.1.115 and a working internal WiFi...

Maybe not the right place but the same happened on my OP5Ultra. The latest kernel stopped the internal WiFi module. Falling back to again 6.1.115 did the trick.

 

So both Radxa 5B plus and OP5 ultra suffer the same problem when installing the latest Armbian Ubuntu. I assume other boards have similar problems...

wifi works fine on our rock 5B+ board with the 6.18 Gnome build...
