Description Leonid Kopylov 2022-10-28 05:10:38 UTC
sys-firmware/raspberrypi-wifi-ucode-20210315.3_p7-r1 missing important file for Raspberry Pi4 Model B Wifi - cyfmac43455-sdio.bin

brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin -> ../cypress/cyfmac43455-sdio.bin

# equery files =sys-firmware/raspberrypi-wifi-ucode-20210315.3_p7-r1 | grep cyfmac43455-sdio.bin
#


Downgrading to sys-firmware/raspberrypi-wifi-ucode-20210315.3_p5-r1 brings cyfmac43455-sdio.bin (and wifi) back:

# equery files =sys-firmware/raspberrypi-wifi-ucode-20210315.3_p5-r1 | grep cyfmac43455-sdio.bin
/lib/firmware/cypress/cyfmac43455-sdio.bin

Comment 1 Dennis Lamm gentoo-dev 2022-11-02 18:23:56 UTC
The file cyfmac43455-sdio.bin no longer exists, the original is now renamed cyfmac43455-sdio-standard.bin.

There is also an alternative cyfmac43455-sdio-minimal.bin that has been
tuned to maximise the number of clients in AP mode while still supporting STA
mode.

I've set brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin to link to cyfmac43455-sdio-standard.bin in PR 28112.

Debian is setting this link with alternatives to either one of them.
