Support for OrangePi Lite - ِAlmost working!

[wh_hsn]

Hello Fourdee,

I got an OrangePi Lite a couple of days ago - using Armbian finally managed to get it working, almost (still have problems with automatic dhclient!)

I've just discovered DietPi & ... WAW!

Great work!

I've tried the OrangePi One distro since the Lite is just a One with Wifi instead of the Ethernet.

It worked just fine - I added ESSID & Key in dietpi.txt file & the board just booted & successfully updated. After that the wifi was not recognized & not enabled.

The OrangePi One has no built-in wifi - the question is why it worked on the first run before the update?

Hi,

Can you remember which version of DietPi you had installed, prior to updating? I'll then check sourecode.

Might not fix this issue, but its always worth setting your WiFi country code in dietpi-config WiFi menu. Increases power ratings and available channels for your country.

Also, can you please paste results of the following commands:

Code: Select all

lsmod
lsusb

I started with the distro of OrangePi One:

Code: Select all

DietPi_OrangePiOne-armv7-(Jessie).7z

Code: Select all

root@DietPi:~# uname -a
Linux DietPi 3.4.112-sun8i #2 SMP PREEMPT Thu Sep 15 12:08:42 BST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

I already did in the dietpi.txt file:

Code: Select all

#WiFi country code. 2 character value (eg GB US DE JP): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2
wifi_country_code=EG

Also, can you please paste results of the following commands:

Code: Select all

lsmod
lsusb

After the update (wifi not working:

Code: Select all

root@DietPi:~# lsmod

Info

Thanks, i'll power on my OPi One and run some tests.

In the mean time, can you please paste results of the following (after the update + reboot):

Code: Select all

cat /etc/modprobe.d/disable_wifi.conf

Edit: also, did you setup your WiFi key + SSID in dietpi.txt before booting for the 1st time?

I tried both but same results - losing wifi after upgrade

can you please paste results of the following (after the update + reboot):

Code: Select all

root@DietPi:~# cat /etc/modprobe.d/disable_wifi.conf
cat: /etc/modprobe.d/disable_wifi.conf: No such file or directory
oot@DietPi:~# cd /etc/modprobe.d/

Hi ... an update ...


From Armbian on the same OrangePi Lite board with working wifi connection:

Code: Select all

root@orangepilite:~# lsmod

mali                  123208  0

For DietPi after upgrade & reboot - again no wireless & I get:

Code: Select all

root@DietPi:~# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
8189fs               1057328  0

brcmfmac               92803  0
brcmutil                2926  1 brcmfmac

I am not sure why I got no output before!

Also the driver for the OrangePiLite built-in wireless is:

Code: Select all

/lib/modules/3.4.112-sun8i/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8189fs/8189fs.ko

Already included in DietPi

I've tried everything I could (my last UNIX experience was on SGIs IRIX back in early nineties ) ... I think the variables for eth# & wlan# wrongly calculated at some point of the configuration script.
