Hello,

 

Is there any conclusion how to het wifi to work on OPi zero?

I am on buster. I have disabled wlan power management (at least ifconfig says that "Power Management:off"), I have changed to performance governor, but still. After some period (like 5-20 mins) it drop all connections and become unresponsive (you can't even ping) for some time, and then work again. For short time again.

 

What  is really strange, as some point I was able to ping some external hosts from OPi  (from session over serial) and at the same time, I could not ping OPi from my laptop. Once I tried to ping my laptop from OPi, then immediately my laptop started to ping OPi.

 

It looks like it also refuses to respond to ARP requests. But not only.

The only way is a serious driver R&D. Do some search for "xradio opi zero wireless" and you will quickly get the picture.
