Wireless card to mPCIe Bus of Orange Pi RK3399

abhisheknibrus

Hi guys,

I am using Orange Pi RK3399 for my project. I have successfully flashed debian HDMI IN into board. Debian is booting like a charm.

Now, I need to use high power miniPCIe wireless card for long range transmission in my project. Card uses Qualcomm atheros AR958x chipset that works on ath9k drivers. I have installed wireless device. After rebooting system, I was not getting two wifi interfaces. I ran iwconfig command to check that.

For debugging the issue, I ran few more command and got following outputs

lspci command output
00:00.0 PCI bridge: Device 1d87:0100
01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR958x 802.11abgn Wireless Network Adapter

lshw -C network command output:

*- network UNCLAIMED
          product: AR958x 802.11abgn Wireless Network Adapter


Now Issue seems to be driver issue. so i tried to reload load driver from the kernel but got the below error:
sudo modprobe ath9k command output:
could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.4.103/modules.dep.bin
FATAL: Module ath9k not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.103


There is not any folder present with name modules in /lib directory. It seems modprobe is pointing to some different folder.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance

I have successfully built a new ubuntu image with ath9k module. My device has got associated with the driver.
But their is a problem now.

- ifconfig command hangs and i am not able to up wifi.

help is appreciated.
