radxa zero ubuntu focal server Wi-Fi problem and solution

[drcyberg]

Hi Masters!

I found a problem with wifi control in radxa-zero-ubuntu-focal-server-arm64-20220801-0346-mbr.img.xz image. The following parameter is included twice in the /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file and because of this the wifi connection does not work:
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

It simply only needs to appear once.

This image was created by our legacy build system. I have initiated a new test build for ZERO, please try it out: https://github.com/radxa-build/radxa-zero/releases/tag/test-build-4

Note: currently we only support Debian Desktop variant.

BIG THANKS!, It's really more reliable and no crashes so far. Unfortunately, unlike 20.04, it froze every minute, the update ate it up.
I hope I will be lucky enough to present the prototype.

Regards!

Can you be more clear what you mean by "froze every minute"? Also are you using Ubuntu?

I tried the version of Ubuntu Server 20.04 with 3 types of SD cards and it randomly froze, and when loading, for example, with each update (apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade), it completely froze, it didn't do anything (Keyboard, SSH, ...).
But there were also instances where it froze at random times when idling, i.e. nothing was running (less often).
Unfortunately, it is not configured to create a log file in this location: /var/log/syslog so I can't say exactly what happened.

Regards!
