WiFi on PS7000: the built-in WiFi module "mt7601u" is not configured properly

[andrea-dintino]

Batocera build version

batocera-rk3128-ps7000-41-20241213.img.gz from https://mirrors.o2switch.fr/batocera/ps7000/beta/last/

Your architecture

PS7000

Your Graphic Processor Unit(s) (GPU)

RK3128

Issue description

The built-in WiFi chip doesn't work: when turning on the WiFi, nothing happens (I tried build 34, 39 and 41)

So I plugged in an external WiFi stick that worked fine. Through that I could connect via SSH and check the situation.

It seems that the PS7000, based on RK3128, also has a WiFi module on board "mt7601u", the driver seems to be loaded in the kernel, but something is missing. I guess my understanding ends here. I'll try to write an issue on Github.

Detailed reproduction steps

See above, I have the full DMESG log if needed.

Details of any attempts to fix this yourself

none

Details of any modifications you have made to Batocera.

@n2qz thank you - I generated the file and went through it, I would prefer not post it on github (there is my WiFi name, Router Mac address, my IP etc). Can I send it somewhere else?

[n2qz]

This is it. You can scrub out specific details that you don't want to share.
