i have just recently picked up a gmktec G3 (https://www.gmktec.com/products/nucbo…96-ad2622f7c4b6)
to replace my pi 4 8gb.
however, I'm running into some driver issues.
Bluetooth works, but WiFi does not.
some audio issues but atm its mostly just WiFi
with these boxes growing in popularity.
will the team be adding the needed drivers, or is it an issue with the new WiFi 6e cards not having driver support for Linux yet?
thank you in advance for any insight you can give into this.

Please update to a current LE12 nightly to see if newer kernel, drivers, firmware, etc. helps?

sorry for the late response.
updated to nightly "LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-12.0-nightly-20240227-b9f1ab1.img"

Please update to this LE12 image and then share "pastekodi" output again:
https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreELEC-gbm.x86_64-11.80.0.tar
I've enabled support for the RTW89 driver. The log will show if that works (or not) and/or if there's firmware needed too.

updated to "https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE…_64-11.80.0.tar"
still no dice.
