Yes it does, look again. It's a normal message when loading non-gpl modules. The module is loaded correctly, it simply doesn't detect your card. Could be an incompatibility with recent kernels. Save yourself some pain and get a wireless nic that's supported by the vanilla kernel

I hear you. But this card was $100+ and is an 802.11AC PCI-Express card. Not very old at all (even if it's technically 4-5 years old). It's not like there are a ton of new and better cards out there. Can't afford to give up on this one. Would i be able to build your cherry trail build without the silvermont option? Or would i be missing all sorts of dependencies trying it out?

That would be due to illegal CPU instructions (-march=haswell and -march=silvermont gcc options).

For simplicity i have both sets of logs in sprunge

Your version: hhOK

Vanilla: PHJL

I noticed one other difference in wl, logs for your version have this statement:

[    4.318788] wl: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.

Vanilla doesn't say that. That by itself shouldn't cause a problem I think. But I wonder if there is any configuration needed to enable an out of tree module correctly.

In that case you could try the Cherry trail build, it also has 4.14 kernel (which is what I wanted to test).

The only difference I can spot in the log is this:

Code

[    3.993082] wl 0000:03:00.0: enabling device (0100 -> 0102)
[    4.246427] wlan0: Broadcom BCM43a0 802.11 Hybrid Wireless Controller 6.30.223.271 (r587334)

No idea why this isn't happening in my build. Perhaps some kernel option changed and now needs enabling or similar. Doesn't seem to be any calls for firmware. If you can point to what's lacking I'll fix it.

Cherry Trail build also freezes at boot. the Update picks up the tar, unpacks everything, reboots and then freezes. Same with the AVX build. I'll investigate what might be happening and get back to you. Thanks!

Your card should be supported by the "wl" driver, which I can see from your logs is loading. Could you post the same log generated when using a regular build?

Also, you could give my intel-core-avx build a shot.

Thanks for the quick response. I tried the avx build but it didn't boot (i installed your normal build and put it in the upgrade directory). My CPU is an Ivy Bridge with only AVX and not AVX2.0. I didn't spend much time troubleshooting.

As for Vanilla LE, logs are here: PHJL

I haven't removed any other drivers. Let me know which driver it uses and I'll have a look. Also provide logs.

3 months late. Finally found time to do this again. I did a fresh install of your latest generic version (LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20171009). This wifi card works fine in vanilla LE, but does not work in your version.

My PCI-E Wireless card is an Asus PCE-AC68 PCI-E 802.11AC card.

lspci outputs the following for the card:

03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)

I've attached logs as well. log-2017-10-11-02.15.23.zip

Had to cut the legacy drivers in the last builds due to size. Try 20170709.

Do you know if an Asus PCE-AC68 PCI-E 802.11AC card was removed? PCE-AC68 | Networking | ASUS USA

I can't seem to get my wifi working in your build. I'll try stock Libreelec and see if I have the same problem.

Edit: I just tried stock Libreelec and my wifi card works fine there. Any chance the PCE-AC68 can be added back?
