Odroid Go Advance Super - No Wireless - Recalbox 7.2

[junkptb]

New install of 7.2 does not detect any USB WiFi module. WiFi adapter : TP-Link TL-WN725N. Odroid Go Advance Super.

Have burnt Batocera to spare SD, booted in same Odroid an using same adapter - wireless works fine. Booted into Recalbox 7.2, nothing. Wired Ethernet works fine. Have also tried updating .conf file, and tried using different SSIDs and keys - no luck.

WiFi region is UK/GB. Have tried setting to FR, no change.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

@junkptb try wifi.region=JP
do you have an other module to test it ?

[junkptb]

Hi - yes, have tried JP, same issue. Have tried multiple WLAN adapters, same issue :(.
Have been doing a bit of debugging and it looks to be a driver issue. dmesg shows:

I can't create /rtlwifi to scp the missing .bin file due to the closed nature of the FS.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

@Scavy Sorry - just realised I didn't tag you on my response!

Hi @junkptb

Looks like wifi firmware are missing.
I'll create an issue for adding them for next bugfix release.

Thanks for your report!

@davidb2111 Hi. Thx for the confirmation. Do we know timelines yet? Seems to be a fairly fundamental omission . Appreciate your response

[Pitch64]

It depends of all know regressions and our ability to fix them asap

It should for the end of this week.

If you are enough adventurous, you can flash or update the beta: see here for details: https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/24142/recalbox-7-2-1-beta3-public-release/52?_=1620043776356

@davidb2111 Hi,
I installed the beta but no WiFi.
I installed via the update file on the SD card

@davidb2111 Hi,

what's the wifi adapter you use?

[Subzero666]

@davidb2111 I bought the TP Link AC600 (archer T2U Nano)

[Subzero666]

@davidb2111 by the way, the Odroid Go Super USB port is ok since a Bluetooth adapter is recognized et the WiFi adapter works on an Odroid XU4Q running Recalbox 7.2

[fabriceroux]

@davidb2111 this morning I installed the final 7.2.1 using the offline method on the Odroid Go Super.

The TP-Link Archer T2U Nano supposedly using the Realtek RTL8811AU chipset doesn't work. Link to Amazon France.

Here are the specs I found about the chipset used in this adapter.

I guess I'll order the fugly official Odroid adapter.

[Subzero666]

@fabriceroux hi,
I ordered the official Odroid wireless adapter. If there's no hurry, I'll be able to tell you if it works on 7.2.1

[fabriceroux]

@subzero666 nice of you.

I'll try a couple of USB to RJ45 adapters I have in the office. Then I'll probably go ahead and get the Odroid wireless adapter anyway. Not being able to connect via SMB to work on ROM directories is painful.

Hi @subzero666

Personnaly, I use this one flawlessly:

@davidb2111 thanks I just placed the order for the Cudy WU650S AC on Amazon France. Delivery is scheduled for tonight.

A wiki page with the supported Wi-Fi chipsets might be useful for the Odroid Go users.

[fabriceroux]

@davidb2111 I received the Cudy WU650S wi-fi adapter... it works. \o/ Thanks again.

[Subzero666]

@fabriceroux The offical Odroid adapter works fine
