Hello,
After doing a clean install of the nas version of bianbu image and some do-release-updates I lost the wifi nor can I configure it back using nmcli (as in the official documentation).
The system is currently on Bianbu 1.0.9, i tried to modprobe 8852bs but then the module isnt used by anything. Am i the only one with this issue ? What should I look for in order to debug more ?
dmesg show that it is picking the firmware? are the firmware files present?
Hello Luca,
I have this section in dmesg about the rtw driver :

Are you using an antennae? Wireless is basically useless without them.
Hello Patrick,
I do not use an antenna, though it was working before the update (and I am realtively close to the router).
I guess the easiest is to pick an older image
I guess so, but I am still intrigued on why it is broken 
, maybe I should look into rebuilding the kernel with the modules?
It is an option, rolling back could be useful to confirm that your setup is seeing the AP, if it does then bisecting Login - Gitee.com should be fast.
For now i have been doing some experiments in my free time, upgrading from 1.0rc3 to 1.0.4 everything works.
Alright, it’s not working starting from 1.0.6. 1.0.11 doesnt work either.
fixed in 1.0.12, here’s the patch, there are ready kernels with wifi
kernel-k1#6.1.15-5.pkg.tar.gz

Ah yes i was going to test 1.0.12, i downloaded the image earlier today however i could only find one with desktop part, so thanks for the link. Whats the difference between the bianbu-linux and bianbu folder (exemple : https://archive.spacemit.com/image/k1/version/bianbu/v1.0.12/bianbu-23.10-minimal-k1-v1.0.12-release-20240802210530.zip )?
Edit: I got my answer, your link contains also the desktop part.
Quick update: Everything works using the 1.0.12 minimal image, just have to add modprobe 8852bs or 8852bs to modules-load.d and all good.
