we don't want to maintain a ton of out of tree wifi drivers. As I said - you can make your own build with wifi, but driver won't be accepted in official repository.
Sorry, I didn't expect LE to go as far as dropping wifi support, but I understand the reason.
It looks like 9.2.6 still supports OPi Lite. I'll stick with it for now.
But I'll keep an eye on master. Thanks again for your help 
Mostly driver, but maybe dts too. I didn't check if wifi is already described in DT.
My plan was to start with a PC Plus build and make the needed changes for Lite, but I just discovered that WiFi on PC Plus doesn't work neither, and I see no issue about it. Am I missing something?
Check closed PRs at LE repo and first post here. Each contain reason why it was rejected (and your PR will be rejected too if you'll include it).
I meant where should I look to enable wifi on OPi Lite builds. Is it a matter of dts/dtb? A missing driver? I found nothing related to this question in closed PRs on github.
The OPi Lite image compiled and boots. But WiFi doesn't show up. Any hints for places to look for?
I read a post about RAM shortage on H6/64 bits. I'll look at previous posts too.
When I have a working network on my OPi Lite I'll be able to report back on RAM usage/shortage, and hopefully contribute a PR.
jernej Thanks for showing me the way. I launched a build. We'll see how it works...
I can confirm HW decoding doesn't work in the 2017-05-16 release of LibreELEC 8 on OPi Lite, maybe something was broken. Is there a place to download past releases?
My OPi Lite displays only 42% of RAM usage during playback. Why only support boards with ≥ 1 GiB RAM?
I'm using LibreELEC for my OPi PC Plus, it works like a charm. Thanks Jernej for your work on AllWInner chips!
But I also have 2 OPi Lite (not Lite 2) which I'd like to update: they now run a LibreELEC 8 image from 2017-05-16, and don't support HW decoding.
I tried using the OPi PC Plus image and replacing the dtb file and the extlinux.conf reference, but the OPi Lite still doesn't boot.
What does it take to have a bootable recent LibreELEC on OPi Lite?
I can probably compile my own image if I have a few hints, but if you can add the image for OPi Lite in the daily downloads it would be even better
