On a Pinebook Pro, WI-FI and Bluetooth work alright with kernels <= 6.9.3-3 but do not work with any newer kernels in “unstable”.
Any clue as to why ?

See this thread. The fix I posted there has worked for some other wise downgrade wpa_supplicant.

Hello Darksky, thanks for your reply.
The link to “this thread” seems to be missing…?

Thank you for the hint. I however must report that I’m using wpa_supplicant 2:2.11-3 and it works on my PBP, without the brcmfmac modprobe fix…

In my case, downgrading did help.

NOTE: I am using the original firmware-file file from core/linux-firmware-broadcom (eons ago, it was recommended to patch by symlinking to a different one)
