Okay - finally got around to testing (with more back and forth between Fabio).  There were some updates to what he patched getting it working with kernel 6.9 (ONBOARD_USB_HUB to ONBOAD_USB_DEV), however since armbian is on 6.6/6.7, this patch was needed as well: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/usb/misc/onboard_usb_hub.c?h=v6.9-rc3&id=65e62b8a955adebee8634804d8f72599213c2774.
 
Attached is the patch I used to build & run successfully w/ wifi & usb enabled (for current - i haven't tested edge).  Make sure you do a kernel config and set ONBOARD_USB_HUB to y - seems like config/kernel/linux-imx6-current.config is significantly different than cache/sources/linux-kernel-worktree/6.6__imx6__armhf/arch/arm/configs/imx_v6_v7_defconfig (attached patch only modifies the kernel work tree)

perfect - that worked!

So I did this:
 
sed -i "s/apt/beta/" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list apt-get update apt-get upgrade  
and it still boots ("deb http://beta.armbian.com $(lsb_release -cs) main utils $(lsb_release -cs)-desktop" didn't work on xenial)
