Internal WiFi status?

[Username_012]

Didn't work, my PineTab 2 does not boot after installing this kernel. I will have to investigate further.

I had success in being able to suspend without any hangs and the wifi on using the following.

Using your favorite text editor add the following text to the following two files

File at

Code:

/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/wlan_stop.sh 

Code:

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" = "post" ]; then
        echo "Post: $(date +%T)" >> /tmp/suspend
        /usr/bin/nmcli radio wifi on 
#       /usr/sbin/modprobe bes2600
elif [ "$1" = "pre" ]; then
        echo "Pre: $(date +%T)" >> /tmp/suspend
        /usr/bin/nmcli radio wifi off
#       /usr/sbin/modprobe -r bes2600
fi
exit 0

and again for shutdowns

add a file at

Code:

/usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/wlan_stop.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# stops the wifi before shutting down, otherwise the current driver implementation hangs

/usr/bin/nmcli radio wifi off
exit 0

Finally got it to work; needed to add some delay after wifi off.

Code:

$ cd /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/
$ cat wifi.shutdown
#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" == "pre" ]; then
   echo "Pre $(date +%T)" >> /tmp/suspend
   echo turning wifi off
   /usr/bin/nmcli radio wifi off
   /usr/bin/sleep 7
   echo "Pre $(date +%T) done" >> /tmp/suspend
elif [ "$1" == "post" ]; then
   echo "Post $(date +%T)" >> /tmp/suspend
   /usr/bin/nmcli radio wifi on
fi
exit 0

And similar sleep for the shutdown. Thanks everyone!

Edit: sorry.. no. it does not always work

I was able to enable wifi and bluetooth functionality by following the instructions by moobythegoldensock above, and I got the wifi to persist between reboots by creating service units as described by ninlith above.

I was not able, however, to get the bluetooth service to persist between boots. On reboot, checking the status of the bluetooth service indicates that it is inactive because:

Bluetooth service was skipped because of an unmet condition check (ConditionPathIsDirectory=/sys/class/bluetooth)

I have put the relevant commands from moobythegoldensock into a script which, when run, creates the bluetooth directory required by the service and enables bluetooth, but something is going wrong that bluetooth isn't getting loaded at boot time.

Anyone having similar prblems, or have any ideas that might point me toward a solution?

I am running arch:

Linux pinetab2 6.6.13-danctnix1-1-pinetab2 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon, 22 Jan 2024 11:53:08 +0000 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Thanks!

You aren't alone mtomaschett. I've got wifi working, but sadly I've never got bluetooth working.



I get to:

Code:

#hciattch -s 1500000 /dev/ttyS1 any 1500000 flow nosleep

Can't get port settings: Input/output error

Can't initialize device: Input/output error

I'll commit the patch that fixes it to the mailing list. Meanwhile, you can fix it by adding the following to arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3566-pinetab2.dtsi and building the device-tree:

Code:

&uart1 {
     pinctrl-names = "default";
     pinctrl-0 = <&uart1m0_xfer &uart1m0_ctsn &uart1m0_rtsn>;
     status = "okay";
     uart-has-rtscts;
};

Bluetooth will "work" after that, but keep in mind that you won't be able to use mouses or keyboards, because they require encryption, which the generic UART driver does not support.
