Hi, im not able to get wifi connected on my nanopi neo air. I tried those images :
DietPi_v145_NanoPiNEOAir-armv7-(Jessie) and
(NR_4.x)_DietPi_v147_NanoPiNEOAir-armv7-(Jessie)
I edited the dietpi-txt like this :
# >> Networking Options -----------------------------
Ethernet_Enabled=0
Wifi_Enabled=1
#Enter your Wifi details below, if applicable (Case Sensitive).
Wifi_SSID=WifiWithEasyPassword
Wifi_KEY=EasyPassword
#Fully automate installation
AUTO_Install_Enable=1
The device going through a first boot, blue led flashing two time little pause two time.
The device reboots and then nothing more appens
When i plug my sd-card into my mac, i can see that the file /etc/network/interfaces is modified to have my wifi details.
I can’t see the device on my router, its not connected at all.
I can’t (for now) debug anything else, cause i dont own anything to do so (screen or usb).

Have you done a hardwired install…then enable wifi once it’s installed?
Might need to fully install then do a kernel upgrade?

Hi,
Please can you verify the AP6212 chip (BT/WIFI) model on the PCB?

dont know if this could help two, but this image is working on this site :
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/sr5d0qpz774cs/NanoPi-NEO_Air#oc15bwqbuxgxe
the image is the nanopi-neo-air_ubuntu-core-xenial_4.11.2_20170908.img.zip
I edited the wpa_configs via linux after burning the image on the sd card.
I imagine that the drivers can be found on the image.
Thanks
Btw, it was a AP6212A

i got it to work.
I copied all the firmware folder from the nanopi image nanopi-neo-air_ubuntu-core-xenial_4.11.2_20170908.img onto the firmware folder of the image DietPi_v145_NanoPiNEOAir-armv7-(Jessie).img. (I plugged the sd card into my linux laptop)

\
I edited the /etc/network/interface to this
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
I edited the /etc/network/wpa_supplicant.conf to this
network={
ssid="Easywifi"
psk="Easypassword"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
auth_alg=OPEN
}
I edited the Dietpi.txt file in boot partition, enabled wifi and enter my wifi info into the file.
After booting, it was working after a while.
Dont know if the 4 steps are needed to get it to work
Edit : step 1-2-3 seems to be needed, but i didnt try without #4
