Description Armin Wies 2018-12-01 22:46:35 UTC

Description of problem:

Wifi is not usable on raspberry pi 3b+ after fresh fedora 29 minimal aarch64 install, dnf update.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Raspberry_Pi#Wifi:
states that it should work out-of-the-box.

I am not seeing any dmesg indication that firmware failed to load, or any other indications concerning wifi hardware.
`sudo nmcli dev ` shows lo and eth0, but no wifi device.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fedora 29 minimal aarch64


How reproducible:
Fresh install on same hardware with https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/29/Spins/aarch64/images/Fedora-Minimal-29-1.2.aarch64.raw.xz image.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install aarch64 release image to raspberry pi 3b+
2. dnf update  (as of 2018-12-01 )
3. sudo nmcli dev


Actual results:

$ sudo nmcli dev
DEVICE  TYPE      STATE      CONNECTION 
eth0    ethernet  connected  eth0       
lo      loopback  unmanaged  --         


Expected results:

Available wifi device

Additional info:
Problem already reported in 1649344, closed, but problem still exist.

Comment 1 Heimo G. 2018-12-08 16:42:40 UTC

I can confirm this problem for the Raspberry Pi 3B (the one without the +) as well.

Comment 2 Nikolaos Perrakis 2018-12-10 22:46:18 UTC

I also experience this problem - as posted in the other bug report as well.

It is unresolved with today's latest updates. WiFi is not working on an aarch64 F29 server image on a rpi3b+:

Some command line information to help:

Comment 3 Berend De Schouwer 2018-12-11 07:37:33 UTC

If you *do* have the bluetooth firmware, this is what you get:

# modprobe -vvv brcmfmac
modprobe: INFO: custom logging function 0xaaaab76787c8 registered
insmod /lib/modules/4.19.6-300.fc29.aarch64/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko.xz

# dmesg | grep brcm

DEVICE  TYPE      STATE      CONNECTION

It doesn't auto-load brcmfmac.

Comment 4 Armin Wies 2019-01-13 15:19:34 UTC

Problem has been fixed in current release.
works for me now in 

kernel-4.19.13-300.fc29.aarch64
