Get fast Wifi via the Raspberry Pi GPIO header using the SDIO bus of the ESP8266. Also with audio jack for the zero. This is a Raspberry Pi Zero sized board which enables fast enough WiFi via the GPIO header (Benchmarked at 28Mb/s) using a low cost ESP2866 module, the ESP-12F.It also has footprints for the PJ313D SMD 3.5mm audio jack and the simple filter as seen on the first Raspberry Pi A/B models. I've install gentoo on a raspberry Pi 3. The version of the kernel sources is 4.1.20-v7+. All works fine except for the wifi. When i load the module brcmfmac, it is loaded without complaint but the wifi chips isn't recognize nor detected.For the kernel config, i use the one from the latest raspbian /proc/config.gz. As with the raspbian, the chip is detected, i know it works. A Raspberry Pi WiFi Extender is a cheap and power efficient way of increasing the total range of your WiFi Network. A WiFi extender differs a fair bit from a WiFi access point. The main difference being that instead of getting its network connection from Ethernet, it instead gets its network connection from a WiFi.
I've bought a RPI3 a month ago. I've intalled Raspian Jessi and all works fine. However, as a opesuse user, I've intalled opensuse tumbleweed last week from http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...rryPi3/images/ on it (tested both, JeOS and XFCE) but wifi it doesn´t work .I've tried to check drivers/firmware and all seems ok in their latest versions. Is that a known bug in opensuse?
In /lib/firmware/brcm/
Raspberry Pi Wifi Bridge
already exists files called:brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt (which is a symlink to brcmfmac43430-sdio-raspberrypi3b.txt)
brcmfmac43430-sdio-raspberrypi3b.txt,
among others...
I suppose that would be the correct firmware files because the RPI3 wifi chipset is Broadcom BCM43438.
Troubleshooting Raspberry Pi 3 Wifi
All mi opensuse system is up-to-date (kernel version 'Linux vfltst38 4.4.30-7-default #1 SMP Tue Nov 8 06:02:03 UTC 2016 (2b8fe9f) aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux'). And specific broadcom and RPI3 files installed are (already included in the downloaded image):
raspberrypi-firmware-config-rpi3,
bcm43xx-firmware,
btd-broadcom,
among others...
Not wireless device is detected (wlan0 or whatever) using ifconfig -a or iwconfig commands. And no device is detected using lsusb, although module brcmfmac is loaded on boot.
What woiuld I do to make wifi work? I'm stuck...
