wlan0 disappears after installing patches

[IronBit-0]

I followed the instructions from the README on building and installing patches for the RPI3B. I've been running into an issue where after I install the firmware patches my wlan0 device vanishes.

By "install the firmware patches" I mean getting to the point in the instructions where you run cd patches/bcm43430a1/7_45_41_46/nexmon/, make, make backup-firmware, and then make install-firmware

I'm not sure if this repo is even still being updated, but I'll accept any ideas or questions.

Have you solved this problem？I have the same one on nexus6p

On Raspberry Pi, I found that running rpi-update 993f47507f287f5da56495f718c2d0cd05ccbc19 to change the kernel version to 4.19.97-v7+ (viewable by running uname -r) worked in some ways, but introduced other problems too.

I was trying to install the OpenDrop, which requires nexmon. I was running raspbian lite 32 bit. This article was really helpful. Here are my log/note files, if they are any use:

opendrop_commands_1.txt opendrop_commands_2.txt opendrop_commands_3.txt opendrop_commands_4.txt

I haven't worked on this project in a while, maybe I'll come back to it. Good luck.
