Wifi isn't identified for Ampak AP6212

[Nir schwartz]

Even after I upgraded kernel to 4.10 Ubuntu doesn't identify my Ampak AP6212 card (neither for wifi nor for bluetooth). Here is the output of dmesg |less:

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.13 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Please try linux kernel here: http://people.canonical.com/~khfeng/lp1705921/

[Nir schwartz (eyenir)]

My architecture is i386 and not amd64. Do you have the kernel for my architecture?

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

i386 variant: http://people.canonical.com/~khfeng/lp1705921/i386/

Please note that i386 support on Ubuntu will be dropped eventually.

[Nir schwartz (eyenir)]

Still no connection.

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Please attach output of dmesg.

[Nir schwartz (eyenir)]

Attached.

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Hmm, can you find the relevant part?
The message "Baytrail Audio Port: ASoC: no backend DAIs enabled for Baytrail Audio Port" flooded over the dmesg, so we don't know what really happened on ath9k.

[Nir schwartz (eyenir)]

Removed the alsa problem.

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

There are too much messages are being snipped.
Please provide dmesg from beginning at boot: `journalctl -b -k`.
Also, please provide both message from the kernel I built and from mainline 4.12.

[Nir schwartz (eyenir)]

My mainline is 4.10. Is it o.k?

[Nir schwartz (eyenir)]

KHF

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

This is super weird - no ath9k messages in both dmesg.

[Nir schwartz (eyenir)]

Yes. I think ath9k relates to an external wireless card I plugged to upload
these logs. What about brcmfmac? It does appear and allegedly it has to
correspond to the Ampak ap6212 (e.g.
http://linux-sunxi.org/Wifi#Ampak_Devices).

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Hmm, so I was debugging the ath9k issue all the time.

[Nir schwartz (eyenir)]

Sorry for that. Do you have any idea about the brcmfmac?

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Use 4.13-rc2 and boot with kernel parameter "brcmfmac.debug=1FFFFE". Attach the dmesg afterwards.

[Nir schwartz (eyenir)]

I didn't put the parameter in brackets. Hope it's fine.

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Tons of unrelated messages...

[Nir schwartz (eyenir)]

Checked it once again. The moment I add this parameter to the kernel it gives only the audio message. When I boot I get `1FFFFE is invalid for parameter debug`. Maybe it's related?

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Oops, it should be "0x1FFFFE" instead. Sorry.

[Nir schwartz (eyenir)]

I still get only the silly Audio Port error. Is there a way I can tell
dmesg to ignore it?

You can blacklist your audio kernel module.
