Hi, yeah I read somewhere that there's no support for the wifi module used on that board because it is unreliable and people dropped efforts trying to support it. I dont remember the source though. If you need wifi, you're better off with another board, make sure to note the wifi chip when selecting it and see if it's supported by drivers :)

Hey, happy to announce that I finally solved the problem myself by recompiling the kernel with the given sunxi firmwares. Thanks anyway! :)

guys, I can't figure out how to enable wifi on OPi Zero H2+. I can't compile this: https://github.com/jwrdegoede/rtl8189ES_linux

Any suggestions?
