01:16 <Macer> so i tried it twice. seems like wifi adapter does not re-initialize when coming out of sleep :/

04:11 <cheakoirccloud> I purchased an Intel ath9k? And can't get 5ghz AP working. Is there another chip I could use? Mini PCI-E full length (I do have a half adapter). I'm looking to do 5ghz and 2.4ghz access point for home use. The error I get is related to regulation (I can't convince the card it's in the US) none of the 5ghz channels are available.

04:16 <cheakoirccloud> I only have the one slot and USB3 port.

05:17 <IgorPec> cheakoirccloud: intel purposefully disable 5Ghz AP on all their consumer grade wifis

05:18 <IgorPec> use cards we reccomend - those works

09:31 <IgorPec> werner: what about if we move "Help wanted" to the community forums ... or cycle around areas?

12:54 <martinayotte> IgorPec: I will check AR-749 as soon as possible, it is probably U-Boot related since previous one didn't have this issue ...

12:54 <ArmbianHelper> AR-749 [Bug] "Allwinner A20 bootloops on 5.11.y / 2021.04" reported by Igor Pecovnik at 2021-05-16. Status: To Do

13:07 <IgorPec> ok, tnx . with 5.12.y we have kernel issue

13:07 <IgorPec> more precisely, packaging

13:42 <Werner> IgorPec, we can try

13:44 <IgorPec> ok, let's do it. perhaps that will help get some - if not else - awareness

13:44 <Werner> aight

13:46 <Werner> done

15:09 <cheakoirccloud> I looked for a list of recommended *cards and couldn't find it. * Mini PCI-E full length(I do have a half adapter) dual band WiFi.

16:52 <IgorPec> cheakoirccloud: it has to be half length?

16:54 <cheakoirccloud> Either is fine, it's full but I'v a half in there now.

16:55 <IgorPec> where did you look for recommendation?

16:55 <IgorPec> https://www.armbian.com/clearfog/

16:56 <IgorPec> here you have two

16:56 <IgorPec> bot are used in automated testing

16:59 <IgorPec> and both operate AP at 5ghz

19:21 <cheakoirccloud> It's difficult, there seems to be no US suppliers offering these parts. The QCA9890 actually points to a QCA988080, making searching for the part difficult.

19:22 <cheakoirccloud> Also I'm wondering if I specifically need a "PC Engines WLE900VX"?

19:22 <IgorPec> no no

19:22 <IgorPec> you need something with its chipset

19:22 <IgorPec> hard to say what is on the market

19:23 <IgorPec> this one you can buy in EU for around 40 eur and it works best

19:23 <IgorPec> https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k

19:29 <cheakoirccloud> DigiKey has a couple for ~200US.

19:31 <cheakoirccloud> https://www.arrow.com/en/products/qca9890-br4b/qualcomm seems sketchy.

19:33 <[TheBug]> yeah they are gonna be expensive if they are good

19:33 <[TheBug]> thats the sad part about the 5ghz cards really

19:34 <[TheBug]> if you want an AP your almost better off just buying router instead

19:34 <[TheBug]> as usually by the time your invested you sepnt as much as if you just bought one

19:34 <[TheBug]> s/one/a router

19:34 <ArmbianHelper> [TheBug] meant to say: as usually by the time your invested you sepnt as much as if you just bought a router

19:35 <IgorPec> many routers have exactly this chipset

19:36 <[TheBug]> man I didn't even catch my spelling mistake -- 'spent' lol

19:36 <[TheBug]> yeah

19:36 <[TheBug]> and the fact is the router mfgr gets better BOM cost on the chipset than you will get when buying a card add-on

19:37 <IgorPec> assembled devices will ceratinly be cheaper

19:37 <[TheBug]> so right now your gonna spend more on a 5ghz card than most pre-built routers will even cost

19:37 <IgorPec> i think you can get this card for less then 20 usd

19:37 <IgorPec> just need to search

19:41 <[TheBug]> oh?

19:41 <[TheBug]> everytime I have found any good intel cards t hen been expensive

19:42 <[TheBug]> maybe from aliexpress or something?

19:42 <[TheBug]> they have been*

19:42 <IgorPec> those are qualcomm and in amazon.de they are 38 EUR

19:42 <IgorPec> aliexpress, yeah

19:51 <cheakoirccloud> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010C7XVRY/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_6JYSW1QXWG8W89S0961J?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

19:52 <cheakoirccloud> ~48EUR

19:53 <cheakoirccloud> Likely because of Trump tariffs?

19:55 <IgorPec> hehe, yeah, hard to say

19:56 <IgorPec> no idea where you can get this cheaper, perhaps prices went up due to component shortage

19:57 <cheakoirccloud> It's worth $10 to be able to stop looking, I consider it a deal.

20:05 <IgorPec> 10 USD is unrealistic for this kind of hw

20:06 <[TheBug]> IgorPec: he was saying opposite, that 10$ isn't a reason to keep looking, I think he was saying its worth the $10 more to have a solution

20:07 <IgorPec> aha.

20:07 <IgorPec> btw cheapest AC capable wifi on usb is 9.99 on aliexpress https://de.aliexpress.com/item/4001189206225.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.52e27bffpoR8rR&ad_pvid=202105171306187981881087077520041072597_3&s=p

21:45 <nekomancer[m]> https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32860570579.html cheaper and ac too

22:19 <Macer> Err:19 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main arm64 Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.152 80]

22:19 <Macer> weird

22:21 <Macer> too bad the wifi doesn't seem to want ot wake up with the rest of the pinebook pro. maybe i shiould just see about grabbing a usb3 module

22:27 <lanefu> Macer: do apt clean; apt update

22:28 <Macer> lanefu, same error

22:28 <Macer> Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/restricted/binary-arm64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.152 80]

22:29 <Macer> 152.88.189.91.in-addr.arpaname = actiontoad.canonical.com.

22:30 <Macer> maybe that mirror just doesn't have the proper structure?

22:30 <lanefu> yeah... may just need to wait a while

22:30 <lanefu> mirrors do goofy things sometimes when they get updated

22:30 <Macer> it's been doing that for a couple of days. heh

22:30 <lanefu> well

22:30 <lanefu> restricted packages

22:30 <lanefu> hmm

22:31 <Macer> i'll see about removing restricted packages

22:31 <lanefu> oh that should be ubuntu ports i think adn not archive

22:31 <lanefu> ...maybe?

22:33 <Macer> yeah i just removed archive altogether

22:34 <Macer> now if only i can decipher this wifi issue on wake

22:35 <lanefu> re-wake interesting.. i dont put mine to sleep a lot, btu havent ran into that i dont think

22:36 <lanefu> i know thast not really helpful

22:36 <Macer> when it wakes the wifi is dead

22:36 <Macer> as though the device disappears. i'm taking a look at what module it uses. maybe ic an just reload it

22:36 <Macer> as a workaround

23:06 <Macer> i swapped to the nightly just to see if some of the issues were gone. not being able to change the background is still there heh.

23:08 <IgorPec> https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/2788

23:09 <IgorPec> but our desktop engine has some troubles ... which could be related to this

23:11 <Macer> IgorPec: says merge commit to master. That isn’t in the nightly repo yet? Or is it a commit that is heading upstream to focal?

23:12 <IgorPec> nightly = master + changed version file

23:12 <IgorPec> unless things are broken

23:13 <Macer> This seems more related to background for Lock Screen / initial login?

23:16 <Macer> wifi turned back on but that was a rather short test. i will try leaving it in sleep mode for an hour and see if it comes back on

23:20 <IgorPec> perhaps that is in another commit, but this was fixed, i have tested it

23:21 <IgorPec> for wifi can't tell. i read somewhere about the problems you have ... but no idea if there is a fix
