Hellow,

 

I would like to report an issue with Orange Pi PC+


I tried to run the board with a manually built image (with kernel version 'next' and 5.71). While in the past I was able to create Wifi hotspots without any issues, with a new image I encountered weird issues where the hotspot was listed from Wifi clients, but trying to connect triggered some scarry traceback such as this one :

Having no idea what I was doing, after trying a few other things, I tried downgrading the kernel to 5.70 (using apt.armbian.org) - this did not solve the issue - and then to 5.67 for which it was working as expected !

 

I don't know if this is something that can be solved upstream somehow ... Naively it sounds related to the 8189fs module (driver for the Wifi chip ?) but not really sure as I don't understand so much all the driver and kernel stuffs :P

Yes, it looks like all those wifi drivers needs some patching on 4.19.y Your workaround is correct one - staying on kernel 4.14.y until this issue is not resolved.
