https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/p...6-firmware has the firmware, and the pkgbuild file has suggestions about where you stick the various files.
I am afraid I am not experienced enough to build a package from it's speccfile. (I will search for it to see what I can find.)

However I think that given I am using the official Majaro KDE image this package should be available from the repositories.

Doing a check with:

Code:
$ pacman -Ss ap6256
community/ap6256-firmware 2020.02-1 [installed]
    Firmware files for the ap6256 wifi/bt module

I think I may have the latest version. At least it looks like that given the latest commit message in the linked repository.

You're using the latest, and it's buggy, so that's causing the problems.  You need the one linked in this post: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...9#pid67119

Then follow the instructions on downgrading from the Manjaro Wiki: https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title...s_manually

That cleared it up for me.
