wahaha 4 Posted November 13, 2023 I reinstalled debian onto the tinkeboard 2s, and added the below to /etc/network/interfaces # Add the following (for ethernet): auto lo eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet dhcp However, when I did: ifconfig It produced the below result: eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.50.146 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.50.255 inet6 fe80::7e10:c9ff:feed:f504 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 7c:10:c9:ed:f5:04 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 1536 bytes 159578 (159.5 KB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 908 bytes 199763 (199.7 KB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device interrupt 35 lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host> loop txqueuelen 1000 (Local Loopback) RX packets 90 bytes 6869 (6.8 KB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 90 bytes 6869 (6.8 KB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 As you can see, wlan / wlp1s0 is not found in there. As such, I am unable to connect via wifi / bluetooth. Is there a driver / kernel / firmware that I can use to update the drivers so that the wifi and bluetooth modules are detectable?

tooz 52 Posted November 13, 2023 hello @wahaha, not sure if it's a hardware or driver issue, to get a little further: 1. what is the image version you're using? is it debian 11 v.3.0.6? 2. what are the results when you execute the commands: ifconfig -a sudo lspci sudo lsmod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Note: I used debian 11 v3.0.6 --> but I used debootstrap to install a variant of ubuntu instead. which probably didn't install the driver (i think?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tooz 52 Posted November 13, 2023 hello @wahaha, looks like the driver isn't initialised, please try: sudo modprobe 8822ce uname -a Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wahaha 4 Posted November 13, 2023 Yea I think it'll work. I copied the modules over. Will enable it and try. But I believe it'll work. Thanks! Also, can I please trouble you to help upload the kernel resources for 5.10 to git so that I can customize my kernel and the modules? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
