This release backports 6 GHz support for the following hardware models using a MediaTek MT7921AU-based USB adapter, such as the Comfast CF-951AX or CF-953AX:

  • WLAN Pi NEO
  • WLAN Pi NEO2
  • WLAN Pi NEO3 (unofficial)*

Check out the comparison of WLAN Pi models and instructions for flashing SD cards.

* The NanoPi NEO3-LTS is not officially supported as a platform for the WLAN Pi because it lacks a screen and buttons, OTG, and proper heat dissipation. However, it can still be used as a WLAN Pi for certain functions (remote scan/capture, speedtest, etc.) by using the provided image and a compatible USB Wi-Fi adapter.

Changelog

  • Armbian 23.02.2
  • Linux Kernel 6.1.11
  • Python 3.9
  • PHP 7.4
  • Upgrades wireless-regdb to 2022.06.06 from 2022.04.08, which enables the 6 GHz band for certain regulatory domains
  • MediaTek firmware files for MT7921 devices (2023-01-17)

New Packages

No new packages were added to this release.

Known Issues

  • The MT7921AU adapter may not be recognized if connected when booting a fresh image. To resolve this issue, restart the WLAN Pi or reconnect the adapter. The adapter should be recognized in subsequent boots with no problem.
  • The Netgear AXE3000 (A8000), although based on the MT7921AU chipset and hence compatible, doesn't work out of the box and needs additional configuration to be recognized.
