Issues with wireless mini pcie cards

Banana Pi BPI-R4/BPI-R3 Mini/BPI-R3/BPI-R64/BPI-R2
1

Hoping for some assistance. I bought an r2 and a couple mini pcie wireless ac cards. The most recent is the qca9880. Lspci shows the cards and right info but always shows unclaimed and all zeros for memory addressing. I have tries 3 cards and all the images i can find. And tried using the linux drivers. Any help pointing me in the right direction to resolve would be greatly appreciated.

What is the actual topology as visible on the PCIe bus (is lspci output basically). Did you enable related configs/drivers for those devices?

Forgive the noobness. its been quite a while since I have had to mess with drivers in linux. I have followed many guides for installing and configuring the drivers.

Its hard to remember what I’ve done thus far. I do not mind repeating so anything you need or suggest I will provide or do. Thank you.

I don’t think there’s any PCIe problem here.

Please take a look at this: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1314693
