<DC-IRC> [Discord] <bugzbanger> yeah I have the ultra, and the normal Orangepi 5 (just plain), and some zero's
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <bugzbanger> Lol I just ordered an orange pi zero 3, to replace my zero 2 . I actually started with the vendor image, then swapped to the debian repo's from the huawei cloud, and I have been running a kernel 'orangepizero2 6.12.23-current-sunxi64 ' for a long while now

<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> zero 3 is good 'value for money' just on the wifi alone
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> i used it as my desktop hotspot
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> btw back on the topic
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> do wifi work on the ultra rk3588 or for that mattter the max with the same chip?
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> if it doesn't work here here is a suggestion to try
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> these 2 are apparently the drivers and 'firmware' (text) file for the on board ap6611s wifi
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> i've a strange suspicion that copying those 2 files into like /lib/firmware
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> may simply make them 'work'
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> the bin file is likely the driver
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> ap6611s apparently could be a broadcom chip or derivattive, but that i'm not sure too
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> i.e. with those 2 files you may get wifi / bluetooth on the ultra
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> it is worth trying out if you have the boards
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> do drop a note if it actually works as i may consider buying a board if the wifi (and ethernet) works
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> i'm not too sure if you need to 'modprobe' anything like the name of the bin driver less the .bin extension
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> then type dmesg etc
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> to 'test' wifi
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> i usually use ip link to check the links
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> if it can be found to use ip link set dev (device) up
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> then use iw dev to find the devices
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> follow by iw dev (dev) scan
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> if it returns a list of visible ap
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ag1234253> wifi is most likely working
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <raspberrygb> I think this is relevant / related ...
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <raspberrygb> I'm fairly sure inbuilt WiFi works on Armbian on my Max with kernel 6.1.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <raspberrygb> Inbuilt WiFi works on Armbian on my Max with kernel 6.1.84
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <raspberrygb> Inbuilt WiFi and Bluetooth work on Armbian on my Max with kernel 6.1.84
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <raspberrygb> I may have installed the WiFi module manually using dkms.
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <bugzbanger> I have not tested the wifi, since I have no needed it
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <bugzbanger> Wifi is not immediately available, I don't even see it show up with ip -l, so will need to add something for it
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <bugzbanger> The ultra with an eMMc does reboot incredibly fast though. I just see 4 failed ping's to it's IP and it's rebooted
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <itsmefeng> personally I see the Orange Pi 3B as a closer Pi 3/4 alternative
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <itsmefeng> I think its pretty solid, considering it got mainlined afaik
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ohasanov> Hmm, im having problems with a rtl8723bu dongle on armbian
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ohasanov> The signal strength seems fine, but the internet speed is measured in B/s
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> https://docs.armbian.com/WifiPerformance/#realtek-8723bu doesn't seem to be the fastest chip in the world, yes
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ohasanov> My other cisco branded dongle works fine, gets 8MB/s
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ohasanov> Yeah well
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ohasanov> If i was getting 1.6Mbit i would be happy
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ohasanov> Currently sitting on 0.02, something is not right
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ohasanov> Huh, my 8192cu wasnt working, tried it again, it connected, but now again speeds in kb/s
<DC-IRC> [Discord] <ohasanov> Cool.
