Hans, I found your earlier message on this, but it does not give ME clear instructions on getting the pieces together:

On Fedora you should just be able to install the appropriate firmware
for the ap6210 driver and have it work, I don't believe Fedora
currently has the ability to redistribute it currently otherwise it
would be in the linux-firmware package which its not.

Even with the right firmware available, I'm not sure things have
progressed from earlier in the year, where the issues with the brcmfmac
driver "stopping" on BPi/Cubietruck, with AP6210 hardware, needed
resolution.

ISTR, some discussion on the sunxi mailing list about this again
recently where they were talking about error recovery on the sdio/mmc side of things.... Not sure any of this made it upstream to the kernel
yet.

Hans would probably be able to say what should be working now. ;)

When dropping the right nvram file into place, and adding this:

https://github.com/jwrdegoede/linux-sunxi/commit/08c7babbb4bd0f9521a6713799a84349cb9dac92

patch to the kernel the cubietruck wifi should work reliable.

Although this patch fixes things, and is safe, we may end
up with a slightly different fix upstream, that is currently
being discussed.

Where is the nvram file described and how to put it in place.

http://dl.cubieboard.org/public/Cubieboard/benn/firmware/ap6210/nvram_ap6210.txt

I cannot resolve that fqdn. I have had this problem in the past with dl.cubieboard.org; for some reason it is just not available over here.

That is a problem, try using wget from some shell on another box?

All of my boxes have their DNS connections through Comcast. I don't have access to any other DNS servers. Well I could easily if I knew of one that resolved this fqdn. If someone just gives me the IPv4 addr for it, I can go direct that way. :(

The IP is 192.163.232.151 you will have to put this in
your /etc/hosts though, going there directly does not work
(it likely is a vhost).

Got the file and put it where you said. Booted up. I am using the Xfce image and used NetworkManager to connect to my wife and:

3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP gr0
    link/ether 98:3b:16:1e:e1:e0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.160.24/24 brd 192.168.160.255 scope global dynamic wlan0
       valid_lft 86384sec preferred_lft 86384sec
    inet6 fe80::9a3b:16ff:fe1e:e1e0/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

But NetworkManger crashed...  And I did not apply the kernel patch per:

https://github.com/jwrdegoede/linux-sunxi/commit/08c7babbb4bd0f9521a6713799a84349cb9dac92

I have looked at that message. I can't remember when I last did a kernel patch myself, so I need a bit more assistance that from this message to do the patch...

thanks.
