Wireless interface disappeared (Raspberry Pi 3 B) #37
Comments
Sry, don't have much time lately. Apparently, something was screwed up in the 4.18 DT files for rpi3b(+). Unfortunately, those are a PITA to debug because of a dozen levels of includes and such. I noticed and reported this during the 4.18-rcs, but it seems nobody on earth has looked into it any further yet. FWIW, I worked around it by copying bcm2837-rpi-3-b*.dtb from the old 4.16 package to /boot/firmware/bcm2710-rpi-3-b*.dtb for the time being. |
@chschlue Thank you. |

It works. Thank you. Step-by-step procedure:

Beware of kernel updates. raspi3-firmware will overwrite this with the current (broken) DT blob. |
@chschlue Example code in bash script:
I wrote it on the fly but it should be a good starting point. Let me know if I can help you further. :-) |
Does FAT support an immutable flag? Anyway, both solutions are temporary. The correct solution would be to fix device tree sources so 4.19 installs accompanied by a working blob again. Another temporary solution: comment out the relevant lines in |
Correcting the original package is obviously the best solution. Replace
...and launch the script as:
No, you'll need to use ext. |
Yes, I get what your script does. |
@chschlue cheer up! This version:
