I know this is somewhat OT, but think this might help.
It is unlikely that the modules do overheat. If yours was it would be defective. It might be a firmware issue though. You could try using this firmware https://gitlab.manjaro.org/tsys/pinebook...aster/brcm . I get perfectly stable WiFi with it on my kernel.
Thanks a lot for the suggestion tsys. I've moved brcmfmac43456-sdio.bin and brcmfmac43456-sdio.clm_blob to /lib/firmware/brcm , rebooted and issue seems the same.
Wifi lasts a few minutes then drops.
Noob question perhaps - but should i have deleted the old firmware?
We don't have lspci ofc and when I run lshw -C network, I get this:
*-network:0
description: Wireless interface
physical id: 7
logical name: wlan0
serial: 6c:22:a2:e9:2e:d3
capabilities: ethernet physical wireless
configuration: broadcast=yes driver=wl driverversion=0 ip=192.168.2.189 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11
Which is fairly inconclusive, at least to me.
I think this will quickly become a bit too much ot for this thread. Please open a new thread. We can discuss the issue there.
