Have you tried to get the WiFi module working in Armbian to confirm it actually works.
I have tried it in Armbian and received the same result. I'm suspecting the WIFI Module, or antenna might be the culprit. I've started a ticket with Pine64's support team and will keep y'all updated
Have you tried to get the WiFi module working in Armbian to confirm it actually works.
I have not tried that yet. Let me read the docs/install and see if it works there.
I have upgraded to 11.0.1 and I still have the same issue.
I also see others reporting the same? issue?
invalid wifi key
Hey all,
I'm trying to set up LibreELEC on my PINE64 RockPro64 and I'm having a few issues with connecting to my network via wifi. I can't really find any great information about it through googling so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I think the issue here is with software in LibreELEC or with something I am doing incorrectly at the OS level but I can go to the hardware for support if someone can show me how to figure that out.
I used the latest (as of 03-22-2023) 11.0.0 arm image and wrote it to the SD Card.
The WIFI Module is plugged in.
I can see the wifi networks in Settings > LibreElec > Connections but I cannot connect to the network. I continue to get the error invalid-key.
I've checked my password is correct in my router configuration and I'm 100% sure it's correct.
Plugging in Ethernet I can SSH into the machine and check the network configuration.

I added a /storage/.config/system.d/iwd.service file where I added the --developer option to the ExecStart option (Is this the right way to modify system.d daemons?)

I'm not sure why the operation keeps failing. I can garuntee the passphrase is correct. I'm even copy pasting it in to the same result. I'm not sure how to continue debugging the issue either. Any suggestions?
I do have some questions about where the WIFI module wire/antenna is supposed to go that aren't really covered in any of the docs I've looked into. It has a tiny bit of exposed metal wire with an adhesive pad and I keep wondering if I'm supposed to put that somewhere. It is currently just stuck to the side of the case. The docs I've looked at for the WIFI module are:
