next to the broadcom firmware for the OP's wifi chip on the Z83 II (brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin), you also need to supply the nvram text file.

A 'dmesg' would probably show that it cannot find it:

===> brcmfmac mmc1:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt failed with error -2

Copy the attached .txt file to the same folder (/lib/firmware/brcm).

gkkpch Thanks for the tip, but its not that simple I get this error message:

 can't create /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt: Read-only file system

Just checked: The kernel that gets used by current head (4.14.24) already knows about the device ID and the firmware files are present as well. But it is still not recognized. As I'm mainly using wired network only I do not have that much experience with this WLAN stuff so I cannot really help much except doing some testing

Nice that this Wifi chipset can be used, hopefully this driver will be patched in the current/newest kernel.

Hello,

I experience the same problem as this thread every help is appreciated.

The WiFI controller isnt found when installing the newest build (bluetooth works well) .

This mini pc is relatively new so it's strange that the WiFi drivers are not supported in LibreELEC.

Mini-pc specifications:

Model: Z83 II

Bios: YB1007 08/17/2017
