Hi, today I have make a test with Armbian nigtly in my Orange pi 3, system boots but wireless interface seems to be missing. I think is a missing driver issue, somebody can tell me more about? Maybe I can find drivers around.

Images in development are missing this and that and its in most cases not something you can find on the internet and install. Xunlong has nothing to do with Armbian for Orangepi 3. It's community supported developed.

Exactly the same issue here...
Should we build the AP6256 driver for the kernel 5.1.0 ?Check this: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/4/5/863

I believe the kernel comes with the support for this paricular driver, right?


Let me try

Check this board:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/sun9i-a80-cubieboard4.dts?h=next-20190514

It has been inside the kernel for more than 4 years, but was not possible to boot it for many years. I tried once this year, but it keep failing.

In short. This means nothing.

And BTW with Armbian, wireless works (with certain problems which is normal for hw under development).

Please open a terminal as root (or use sudo instead) and write:


  1. cp /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-sdio.bin /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43456-sdio.bin
  2. cp /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-sdio.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43456-sdio.txt

  3. reboot
Copy code
