ARMBIAN 5.37 on AmLogic s805 wifi

Hello to all;

These are VERY exciting days for me as I installed ARMBIAN 5.37 on my s-805 MXQ box and its running beautiful! Thanks for all that made it happen.

There is but one issue where I need some help:

Running ARMBIAN 5.37 user-built Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 3.10.99, the system is unable to find my wifi adapter. Any help in how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

I am using a mxq black with s805 chip on it. The dtb has its name, so the installation works smoothly, on Sd card. Now...

 

Here is mine workaround. After looking at other boxes forum.

Ps..: I just try them out, and the results come. :)

 

to get wifi working, running those command that balbes mentioned earlier. 

 

 Then, here is trial and false phase.

Typically, drivers exist  in mine folder named 3.10.108 (run “sudo mobprobe  abc” to find your  exact directory)

use any file manager, go there, search for folders with name “wifi”

then, type

“sudo  mobprobe [driver-name]”

without the “ . ko “

 

Just try until you see in the network icon gui,  the’ wifi network’ appears with some AP( if you dont see any AP names , then try other drivers) . 

 Check to tick “enable wifi” in the right click menu of the network icon, if no wifi names is shown.

 

Get it up and running. 

————

if you want to do this without manually re load the wifi module every next boot, you may put that line in the /boot/ hdmi.sh file.

 

 

Good luck to there all.
