SV6256P WiFi Now Working on Linux 6.x (Armbian Tested)

Hello. Thanks for the reply.

Since a new version has been released yesterday, I give it a try and no dice.

The module ssv6051 shipped with the kernel does not work in my tv-box, it gives lots of trace in dmesg and the error "RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted".

For now I switch to stable channel, installed the driver by @eloirotava and hold the kernel, headers and firmware packages.

Below the console output:

[  OK  ] Reached target graphical.target - Graphical Interface.
