No wifi network with RTL8189F

[yorch_s3]

Hi

I just burned coreELEC to my SD card, it boots perfectly but there doesn’t seem to be any wifi network configured.
Does anyone know what is going on?
Thanks in advance.

CoreELEC-Amlogic.arm-9.2.4.2-Generic using gxl_p212_2g.dtb file,
device: Bqeel mc9 max ( s905x soc p212 and rtl8189F wifi adapter)

This is the dmesg log:

What is the output of the command:

udevadm info /sys/bus/sdio/devices/* | paste

[yorch_s3]

Command paste require internet connection so I paste here manually

CoreELEC:~ # udevadm info /sys/bus/sdio/devices/* 
P: /devices/d0070000.sdio/mmc_host/sdio/sdio:0001/sdio:0001:1
L: 0
E: DEVPATH=/devices/d0070000.sdio/mmc_host/sdio/sdio:0001/sdio:0001:1
E: DRIVER=rtl8189fs
E: SDIO_CLASS=07

I’m afraid but I don’t see what could be wrong. Maybe someone else will.

What is the meaning of this (dmesg log):

[ 13.427991@2] aml_wifi wifi.34: [extern_wifi_set_enable] WIFI Enable! 240

A layman question, does it find an external WiFi device, or it “thinks” that it’s external and disables internal module, or that internal WiFi should work as expected?

It seems to be a hardware problem, because I put a wifi access point very close to the box, it detects the wifi, I am trying to replace the antenna and hope this works, thank you very much
