attached file err is output from armbianmonitor -U

Anyway I had to reflash after a microSD broke.

Previously I used 4.4.213-rk3399 (don't recall the armbian version) and then built in wifi worked.
Now I used the latest image 5.10.63-rockchip64, and I can't get the built in wifi to work.
As I think I recall right, i added the module rtl8189fs with "insmod 8189fs" and the kernel log said

[ 4584.914559] RTL871X: module init start
[ 4584.914579] RTL871X: rtl8189fs v4.3.24.8_22657.20170607
[ 4584.914783] RTL871X: module init ret=0
but I can't find the device with nmtui or lshw.

What Am I doing wrong?

We are moving soon to next LTS kernel, where my OrangePi 4 has not problems connecting to wifi: http://ix.io/3MKQ

 

WiFi chip - at least on mine - is Broadcom:
