July 3, 20233 yr Hello! First off, thanks for the amazing product you all have created - huge props to everyone who contributes! I have been trying to get Armbian completely working on my Orange Pi 5b for a week now. Most notably: WiFi. Just a few moments ago I set up a new build of Armbian again, on an empty SD card. The one from https://www.armbian.com/orangepi-5/, Armbian 23.5 Jammy Gnome, as the more recent builds' armbian-config don't seem to have an option to enable overlays. After doing the default setup (user, locale, and it asks for "connect via wifi?" but shows no WiFi devices), I ran armbian-config. I go to System -> Hardware, but see nothing of the sort (no ap6275p, no "wifi", nothing). Manually adding "overlays=wifi-ap6275p" to /boot/armbianEnv.txt and rebooting does nothing, unfortunately. In the settings "app", I can click Wi-Fi, but it says "unavailable" and basically just keeps searching for networks. Looking around the forums I just keep going in a loop and it's driving me crazy. I tried basically every suggestion, how-to, etc, but keep ending up with non-functional wifi. Can someone give me a hand? What am I missing? Why is this not supported, seems like a pretty important feature? I understand how much work goes into this kind of thing and am nothing but grateful, especially if I could get some help here. Thanks again!
July 3, 20233 yr Did you try rolling release images? It's now orangepi-5-ap6275p so overlays=orangepi-5-ap6275p should work for latest images.
