I downloaded the WIP armbian for Orange PI Zero.

Everything seems fine that is until the wifi.

Tried using nmtui. Doesn't work, can't find any network, even if I key it in.

ls /sys/class/net No sign of wifi,

ip link show no wifi.

Tried to edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf nothing

Edited /etc/network/interfaces nothing.

 

Anyone here has any solution?

Hi Please check if you can find anything strange?

 

Btw I am using the ambian focal on orange pi zero 2. I wanted a command line base OS with no desktop for IOT.

 

I know its WIP, was just wondering if there is any on the hand solution which I can solve this on my own before the support comes.

You may try with the latest Unstable kernel (based upon 5.11.x), but I don't think WiFi works even with that one.

 

No, wifi is not yet supported, it needs some out of tree driver. I don't think anyone bothered to try it out (I'm big skeptic about these wifi modules...).

I see, maybe I just install the ubuntu image provided by orange pi. I am skeptical because the ubuntu image they provided was modified and not from the official that is why I looking for armbian, I prefer OS only from official source. I tried their ubuntu image, their wifi works though.

The vendor image works but has, like it often was the case, design flaws. For example you will notice that the board will run a constant load >1 for no reason.
