Hello everyone, i was wondering if it was possible to see from CoreELEC what WiFi chipset i have, so then I can look for a driver (if I find one), maybe opening a terminal or something from CoreELEC? Any help is appreciated, thanks
udevadm info /sys/bus/sdio/devices/*
Alright, will try it when I can and i will let you know
We do not have such hardware with your Realtec chip assembled. The driver get loaded but it does not work. We recommend not buying any of the X? devices…
Hello guys, i know i shouldn’t post about the T95N WiFi chipset, but my box (Noga PC Live) is like a copy of it, and i asked for a firmware and they sent me a FTP server, i thought it would be useful, there are .img files, if you want I can send it over so you can check it.

Hi guys,
I’m running CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-19.5-Matrix_nightly_20220726-Odroid_N2.img on an Odroid N2+ 4GB with a USB RTL8723 WiFi/Bluetooth dongle and no BT and no WiFi.
udevadm info /sys/bus/sdio/devices/* | paste
Unknown device “/sys/bus/sdio/devices/*”: No such device
please help 
thx!
In SSH console add BT firmware
mkdir -p /storage/.config/firmware/rtl_bt
wget -O /storage/.config/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8723b_config.bin https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lwfinger/rtl8723au_bt/master/Linux_BT_USB_2.11.20140423_8723BE/8723B/rtl8723b_config
ethernet is up from what i see
[ 7.214036@4]d meson6-dwmac ff3f0000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control off
[ 7.214054@4]- IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
Thanks! But I think it’s not only firmware missing.
The ethernet connection you see is a wired-connection, the RTL8723BU WiFi doesn’t even get loaded. Needs some more digging but will try again after the weekend.
Tried dietpi (just to see if it works there) and it loads rtl8xxxu.ko for RTL8723BU WiFi and works ok.
In the latest stable coreelec 19.5-Matrix_rc2 (Amlogic-ng.arm) that modules is disabled, do I really need that module for RTL8723BU wifi to work or is there another module that makes it work also?

Can you try this image with CONFIG_RTL8XXXU=m?

Just figured out how to make a build myself but it’s still building… your image works like a charm, both wifi and bbluetooth… thanks!!!
Now gotta figure out how to get this in the official releases

Thanks for all your help and have a nice day!
Hi, I bought this box.
Probably a new revision with this wifi module: Fn-Link K255B-SR
I used sc2_s905x4_4g.dtb and wifi is not working.
dmesg:http://ix.io/46xR
udevadm info /sys/bus/sdio/devices/*: http://ix.io/46xS
journalctl -l: http://ix.io/46xT
Can anyone help? Thanks
Please open your device and check the assembled wifi chip. If it’s something like W150S1 I can try to prepare a test image but I would not give to much hope this will work. Never ever buy X… devices!
Hello,
disassembled image: imgBB
It is: Fn-Link K255B-SR
Datasheet: https://fccid.io/2AATL-K255B-SR/User-Manual/User-Manual-5353179.pdf
Thanks for you time
I tried:
- CoreELEC 19.5-Matrix_rc2
- CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-19.5-Matrix_nightly_20220804
- CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-20.0-Nexus_nightly_20220726
Same everywhere, Wi-Fi doesn’t work (log from CE-20: dmesg and udevadm info /sys/bus/sdio/devices/*).
@9martin here is a CE-19 test image including the Amlogic W1 driver:
I have no idea if this will work as no user did report back anymore about this wifi chips. Please update with this image and run a dmesg | paste afterwards and check if wifi get working or not, thx.
