Hi @emg-cp
I don't support use on kernels older than 5.4. I generally follow supported LTS kernels in this regard. I simply do not have a test system with kernel 4.9 that I can use to test.
My recommendation is for you to upgrade your version of RasPiOS.
Also, if you wish, we are working on a version of this driver that can be upstreamed into the Linux kernel. We could use testers:
Driver from commit

Raspbian 8 (jessie) Kernel 4.9.35-v7+ Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2After running
ip link set wlan0 up
and beforewpa_supplicant
connects to a network/sys/class/net/wlan0/operstate
reports up.As I understand it from reading kernel documentation[0], and as it works on other adapters I have tried,
operstate
should not switch to up until the connection is made.(This is causing some issues for me as
/etc/init.d/networking
runsifup wlan0
even thoughwpa_supplicant
hasn't connected yet, which causes long delays at best and hangs indefinitely at worst due to other known issues withdhclient
that I'm chasing down separately.)[0] https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/operstates.txt
