Problem with wifi on ubuntu

Chip Platform Rockchip
1

Hi,

I managed to configure a custom xubuntu filesystem thanks to the tutorial with a lot of packages installed through qemu… Once the .img is done it boots and everything seems to work except the wifi.
The network manager keeps telling the “device is not ready”. Restarting it doesn’t change anything.
With :

sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

I got : “SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted”. It seems the wifi adapter is powered off because there is no rfkill lock and :

dmesg | tail

returns :

[ 2048.920017] dhd_wl_ioctl: returning as busstate=0
[ 2048.920031] dhd_net_bus_devreset: dhd_bus_devreset: -35

[ 2048.949115] dhd_stop: Exit
[ 2048.949136] dhd_open: Exit ret=-1

and with

journalctl -ex

I got :

The kernel is 4.4.55 (and everything worked with the vanilla filesystem)

Any idea ?

get anything in “/system/etc/firmware/” ?

3

Wow thanks now I realize I miss the entire /system folder..
How am I supposed to install the firmware stuff ? I followed the guidelines (http://wiki.t-firefly.com/index.php/Firefly-RK3288/Build_Ubuntu_rfs/en) but there was no mention of it..
Need I just to copy it from your default filesystem ?

4

yes, just copy it.
