Maybe it makes sense to try to eliminate unnecessary kernel modules at the assembly stage and enable the necessary ones?
It makes no difference, I tried the same thing. That is not the point. Yes, check the dmesg download. The Chinese writes that Wikipedia says it’s easy to install one driver and it does not work. It is necessary to demolish so that other modules do not try to boot earlier and capture the chip and everything else.
Maybe the Chinese did it, but here the driver does not recognize the chip as its own in any case. Somewhere they recommend using kmod-brcmsmac, I tried it the same way, it doesn’t work.
There is even kmod-b43 and he gets up with an error, cannot read the ROM from the WiFi chip. Apparently it is not on the board. By the way, for this reason I added the option macaddr '7c: 03: 4c: ee: 3d: d3' line to the / etc / config / wireless file. This is the poppy from my router. It is right in the firmware. Without it, WiFi does not work at all. Two firmware lying on
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/sagem/fast2704WiFi does not work, for the same reason. The driver cannot read the WiFi ROM and does not form this line in the configuration file. And with zero MAC WiFi does not even turn on.
