Hello i hear you balbes. I am on mobile so very bad writing here. Sorry.. I tried armbian librelec and amlogic images and modules. Amlogic works as described in the manual. Libreelec works. Balbes armbian desktop versions works after you put below files into directories and issue commands below.

I have mini m8s II which has ap6212 wifi module. I will try to remember file names. The chip is bcm43438.
 
Firmwares: /lib/firmware/brcm
fw_bcm43438a0.bin
fw_bcm43438a0_apsta.bin
fw_bcm43438a0_p2p.bin
nvram.txt
nvram_ap6212.txt
config.txt
 
Modules: /lib/modules   (check also /lib/modules/kernel/3.14.29/ folder..)
cfg80211.ko
dhd.ko

Balbes kernel has setting for broadcom chips to look for directory /lib/firmware/brcm

So copy original files from eMMC of your device.

sudo modprobe cfg80211
sudo modprobe dhd

If it does not work go to below files directories.

sudo insmod cfg80211.ko
sudo insmod dhd.ko

Armbian Dekstop version should work after above commands.

Headless is more difficult. Or I am lack of required knowledge. It requires to setup wpa_supplicant.conf  & /etc/network/interfaces   i belive. But never make it work reliably..
Hope this helps..
