Orange Pi4 Wireless, bluetooth and ethernet doesnt work after update

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

 

After the last armbian update with a new kernel does the internal networkcard not work anymore! Luckely does a USB NIC work and can i run everything but on only 100Mbps iwonstead of 1Gb of the internal NIC. What i remember did this problem also a few years ago happen. I have pasted all the required info to pastebin because armbianmonitor -u does not work. I got an error that network is not availble.

 

Thank you all for you support! :)

By plugging in the USB NIC i could ssh to the Orange Pi 4 again but did not a working internet connection. Probaply because the DNS server was not correct or something. Anyway i made the following change to got it working.

 

I did go to the dir /etc/NetworkManager/SystemConnections/

I renamed the file 'default' to '_old_default'.

 

There where also 2 files for the builtin NIC i think and my external NIC. So i renamed the internal NIC file to 'default' In the file edited the interfacename eth0 to the USB NIC enx000ec6c13633

 

After a reboot it works for now with the external NIC.

 

Maybe is the Internal NIC broken because there is a new Orange Pi 4 LTS with another ethernet chip?

 

I see also now that wifi and bluetooth doesn't work anymore after the update...

I have the same issue since the update of kernel version 5.15. I have no network and no HDMI during the boot...

I'm using the first version of Orange PI 4 B.

Is it a way to solve by replacing only the kernel (or other file) on SD ?

I have "plain" OPi4 (not B, nor LTS), after todays update to 5.15.25 #22.02.1 Armbian Buster, network works fine. Didn't tested BT / WiFi / HDMI (during boot) as I don't use then on this box. May test later if someone needs.

Got exactly the same but with Focal. Today this update broke the whole system again after reboot:

 

Bezig met uitpakken van armbian-config (22.02.2) over (22.02.0-trunk.0004) ...
Uitpakken van .../armbian-firmware-full_22.02.2_all.deb wordt voorbereid...
Bezig met uitpakken van armbian-firmware-full (22.02.2) over (21.08.6) ...
Uitpakken van .../armbian-zsh_22.02.2_all.deb wordt voorbereid...
Bezig met uitpakken van armbian-zsh (22.02.2) over (22.02.1) ...

 

So i should install from scratch again... This time buster and hopefully the next updates would not broke the system again and again and again

 

I think that it maybe has to do something that my OS is on the USB drive...

 

Edit: ok, i know a lot more. Also if i enable I2C on armbian-config the system NIC stops working. Also on Focal and Bullseye and it doesn't make sense if i use a usb disk or not.

OK, thanks for the info. I will wait for a fix. If someone has a solution to manually fix the issue directly on SD card (as Ethernet is broken), I'm interested in order to recover my previous installation and configuration...

Thanks in advance for your help !

This topic is about Orangepi4, not LTS. Those are different boards. OPi4LTS is not supported as this time.

Hi Werner, do you know if this problem is fixed? I have now freezed all Armbian updates because the whole system broke after a kernel update. But what i know this is a problem of all RK3399 boards?

 

Thank you for your answer :)

Hi! Any updates? I'm using Armbian_22.02.1_Orangepi4_focal_current_5.15.25_xfce_desktop and wifi not working...

 

Thanks!

Can someone confirm if the Armbian update today not broke down the running system? Is it safe to upgrade??

  • Author

To anwser my own question: yes it's safe to upgrade! Everything works perfect after upgrade to 22.05.1 Focal and 22.05.3 Focal on the OrangePi 4! :)

You have some chance because I tried new install and also by update (from 5.10) without success on my op4 (orginal one/non LTS)...

With new kernel 5.15 I have no Ethernet so I cannot see what is the issue...

Don't know if this is a good sign....

Me neither :lol:

Usually there should not be mixups between stable and nightly, no idea what happened. Did you change firmware to nightly via armbian-config or something?

Regardless from what I see here is that the bumps probably do not cause harm. You just get a slightly newer version of firmware package and unrelated stuff.

@haajee: I think I also seen this update. I have some issues sometime the board never starts, but I cannot see any logs as I have no Ethernet.

 

@Werner: In update configuration tool in Ubuntu, I cannot manage the apt repositories, I have just the default for Ubuntu and it was not the case before.

I can maybe directly modify the sources in config file (/etc/apt/sources.list) but that is stange...

I tested again last jammy version with the update. I still have an issue with u-boot because sometimes it boot correctly and somtimes not... But the OS seems to work.
