ok, some modules are loaded, so that this is not the problem…and you can do
modprobe mt7615e
and should see loading of the mt7622-wmac
but still the pcie port link down…looks like something is broken in 5.15 with pcie, need to find some time to test it with my board
Thank you so much, if I type “modprobe mt7615e”, I see now the “wlan0 - Interface” with “ifconfig -a” -> but, without IP - Adresses. Is there a good way to do that via booting the system?
where should the wlan0-ip came from? you can set a static ip on your host or get an ip-adress from your router after an connection to its bssid
but wlan0 is the mt7622 wmac, not the mt7615 you inserted into your pcie-slot
dmesg | grep -iB5 wlan0“…but wlan0 is the mt7622 wmac, not the mt7615 you plugged into your pcie slot”.
Now I don’t understand the WHOLE thing at all. I do have 2.4 GHz (onBoard) and the 5 GHz (pcie-slot), right? And if so, which system must report, how?
You should see the 5g card in lspci (no “port link down”)…and 2 wlan interfaces (mt7622-wmac and one for mt7615 card),if dbdc active there should be 3 wlanX interfaces
here my output with kernel i have currently installed on my board:

mt7615 card is inserted in the pci-slot near the power-jack, i have not done any hw-modifications (resistor-/capacitor changes)
IF I type in “dmesg … grep -iB5 wlan0” i´ve got the following message:[45062.860650] mt7622-wmac 18000000.wmac: Load eeprom OK, count 1024 byte [45062.870156] ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm ‘minstrel_ht’ [45062.912826] mt7622-wmac 18000000.wmac: HW/SW Version: 0x8a108a10, Build Time: 20190801210006a

So, what kind of WLAN did I have now? And how can I setup the IP - Adress over which directory?
you see that wlan0 is from mt7622-wmac so the soc-internal wifi, not the pci one.
basicly you can set ip-address this way
ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev wlan0
ip link set wlan0 up
but to have a connection you need to connect to a wifi-network like your router (wpa-supplicant), or create an own accesspoint using hostap
at least for hostap i have examples in my wiki, it is same for r2 and r64, so maybe i have them only in the r2 section
btw. booted the 5.15.0, which should be same as the one you have in the image…and my card is still recognized

root@bpi-r64:~#
but i see i have also a link down…i guess from the other slot:
mtk-pcie 1a145000.pcie: Port1 link down
Please excuse me, but slowly I don’t understand anything anymore & above all not why I don’t see my card; although it is available.
This is incomprehensibly slow for me. I have hostapd on my system and when I display the status I see the message “wlan0: interface state UNITIALIZED->COUNTRY_UPDATE”… Whatever, I still can not understand why I have so many problems with this board at once. ICh would be really once satisfied if the 2.4 GHz would work properly again and that also at the SYSTEM - start… How do I manage that? I have a project to design and here I’m just running out of time … Sorry, but I’m just a bit under PRESSURE, because 2 servers with me have also said goodbye & there were important applications on it (DB & GitLab) …
the soc of the board has a 2g4 wifi builtin…this is the wlan0 you see (detected as mt7622-wmac by mt7615e driver).
the card you’ve inserted into the pci-slot is not recognized…maybe it is defect, you can try another card if available
It seems terrible, if this card is defect - because it is a NEW ONE.
Any way. How can I start my 2.4 GHz after reboot automatically without given modprobe - command? And with which way I can bind the IP on WLAN0?
best regards
Matthias
Do you want an ap or client-connection?
Ap: https://www.fw-web.de/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:bpi-r2:wlan#hostapd
For a connection you have to set ip address and run an dhcp-client (e.g. dnsmasq) on your wlan interface
In bullseye image i used systemd to make network setup,just look how i set ips for the wan/lan interfaces and do same for wlan0 (different subnet). Hostapd and dnsmasq can run as daemon so they are started at system boot if enabled
Output from: hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
… wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED hostapd_bss_deinit: deinit bss wlan0 wlan0: AP-DISABLED hostapd_cleanup(hapd=0x55a46a4150 (wlan0)) wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn’t started …
Afaik wlan0 has to be up before starting hostapd
ip link set wlan0 upHello Frank, I would like to start by thanking you for the help and perseverance you have given me. But somehow the router doesn’t work the way I want it to.
The WLAN interface constantly flaps and the config doesn’t really want it either. Unfortunately, I don’t know what the reason for this is or what it could be…
Well, then I’m currently only using it as a “LAN router” without an AccessPoint… And I can’t imagine that the external WiFi card is defective either… I don’t know; I’m at a bit of a loss at the moment…
maybe check your power supply is 2A+ and runs cleanly? had no such problems
