Hey Arend

Thanks for taking a look.

The brcmfmac-wcc module is present on my installation, but I’m not
currently loading it.
(I only load brcmutil, then brcmfmac.)

But, even if I load it, the wlan0 interface still doesn’t show up.

In the modules.dep, I see that brcmfmac-wcc should be loaded after
brcmutil and brcmfmac.
Is that accurate?

Yes. Actually brcmfmac loads brcmfmac-wcc by itself.

My installation is somewhat unusual in that I use a custom userland
(see https://gokrazy.org/).

Bit tricky choice of name :-p I will check it out.

Regards,
Arend


Thanks
Best regards
Michael

Of course, find it attached. Thanks.

Strange. Could it be there is some build config needed to install the
additional kernel modules (brcmfmac-wcc.ko, etc.) on RPi image?

Arend

Hey Arend

I recently bisected a user-reported WiFi breakage on the Raspberry Pi
3B+ to your commit
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d6a5c562214f26e442c8ec3ff1e28e16675d1bcf
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221129135446.151065-4-arend.vanspriel@xxxxxxxxxxxx

On our end, the issue was reported here:
https://github.com/gokrazy/wifi/issues/3

As of Linux 6.2.6, this seems to still be unfixed, so I wanted to
check in and see if you could take a look please?

I have a suspicion, but can you provide the kernel .config file so I can
see if I am on the right track.

+ brcmfmac: brcmf_fwvid_request_module: mod=wcc: failed -2
+ ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_attach: brcmf_fwvid_attach failed
+ brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_firmware_callback: brcmf_attach failed

Regards,
Arend
