Unable to activate wifi on Linux
#2
I don't have my pine64 running atm, so I can't check on that wifi message, which may or may not be normal.

On the premise that it's not normal, I would check if the module is plugged in the right way around... it isn't symetrial... the row of pins on one side is longer than the other, so there is a 'right way around' and 'wrong way around'.

Other than that, it may be worth running the uboot and kernel update scripts to make sure everything is up to date there. As a root user (eg. sudo -i) run the following commands to grab and run the lastest version of longsleeps update scripts:

Code:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_uboot.sh)
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_update_kernel.sh)

Have you enabled wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces, and configured it yet?
