Hi, any solution found for the WiFi not working ?
Try: sudo systemctl start NetworkManager.service
See this post for more details. I almost never reboot my system, so I don’t know if it work.
here are the results:
[raxy@vim1jaro ~]$ sudo systemctl start NetworkManager.service

in fact, wlan0 is never shown, and it was shown on the previous kernel version, so i tend to say there was an unfortunate regression
I tried it on my vim1 pro and i had wifi,
Can you install the kvim wifi firmware to check if that works?
sudo pacman -S kvim1-firmware kvim2-firmware --overwrite "*"
ok, this happenned then…
raxy@vim1jaro ~]$ sudo pacman -S kvim1-firmware kvim2-firmware --overwrite "*"

Try copying this file to brcmfmac43455-sdio.khadas,vim.txt.
@spikerguy, looks like the firmware packages are placing the files in the wrong folder maybe?

I had that idea as well and did the copy,
but after reboot, I lost both my accesses to BT mouse and BT keyboard and had to painfully revert to previous situation using the console (now it’s ok again)
Just downloaded and installed 5.8.3.2. on PBP. Was this supposed to address the previous kernel changes concerning usb-c?
No, It was suppose to remove replace from the package so users can move to older version manually if they want to use dp-alt mode.
For those who want to use dp-alt mode please follow the steps in this post.
@raxy
Time to play around with Vim2 and find a wifi solution for your vim1 pro and also report to lima about the errors.
