After orangepiplus upgraded the kernel, the native wifi interface card disappeared.

Currently, after upgrading the kernel to 6.6.36-current-sunxi, the native wlan0 will disappear.

I checked the dts settings and it shows that wifi is implemented in mmc1.

 

mmc@1c10000 {
            reg = <0x1c10000 0x1000>;
            pinctrl-names = "default";
            pinctrl-0 = <0x17>;

            reset-names = "ahb";

            #address-cells = <0x01>;
            #size-cells = <0x00>;
            compatible = "allwinner,sun7i-a20-mmc";
            clocks = <0x03 0x17 0x03 0x4a 0x03 0x4c 0x03 0x4b>;
            clock-names = "ahb\0mmc\0output\0sample";
            vmmc-supply = <0x15>;
            mmc-pwrseq = <0x18>;
            bus-width = <0x04>;
            non-removable;
            phandle = <0x56>;

            sdio_wifi@1 {
                reg = <0x01>;
                phandle = <0x57>;
            };
        };

dmesg also shows that mmc1 has detected the sdio card.

confirm the problem on Orange Pi Zero Plus ...

i think it's because of this line is missing in build config (see attachment)

i've solved the problem by choose another kernel (6.6.31) in armbian-config

Can I add RTL8189FS settings to armbian-config to enable the network card?

This was dropped out from kernel by mistake, but it was already fixed at sources https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/6984 You need to build kernel from sources or use kernel from nightly repository that is already having this fix.

Thank you very much for your information!

At present, I have synchronized the kernel to the latest version and can already see the wlan0 network card.
