I see. I think I will fire up the old Zero and see what it does with Bookworm Lite. If I can remember where I put it... I've also got a combined wired ethernet and USB hub thingy I can get it on the network with, as well as another of the dual band wifi dongles I've set up with the Pi 3B original flavour - it's RTL8821CU-based if memory serves. Recent Raspberry Pi OS kernels seem to have got it working without any out of tree fiddling requiredFWIW, the (only?) previous tests I have logged are here: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_p ... ased_SetupInteresting. I had an early revision Zero set up as a music player for my dad for a couple of years, and it used the old official Raspberry Pi USB WiFi dongle (see https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/ra ... fi-dongle/) that apparently uses the same Broadcom wifi chip as in your Broadcom hub+wifi device. I ended up retiring it due to heavily congested local 2.4GHz wifi that was causing problems, and upgrading the host Pi to a 3B, original flavour with the old version of the BCM2837, which obviously has no wifi or Bluetooth built in. I do remember the Zero with the old wifi dongle had occasional problems where it would fail to reconnect to the network upon reboot, and sometimes not reboot at all but I never got to the bottom of it. The Pi 3B with a 3rd-party USB wifi adaptor that supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands works well, after persuading BT to send my folks, for free, a new router that supports 5GHz. (They're paying an arm and a leg to BT for broadband and phone, but that's another story).
Did you find the Broadcom hub+wifi device worked OK on previous OSes with that Zero?

which are probably the same Raspberry PiOS version (Stretch?)
Trev.
On kernel 6.1.y it was working on x86, but not Pi arm64. Now with 6.6.y it seems to work properly on Pi arm64 out of the box Statistics: Posted by andrum99 — Thu Jul 11, 2024 4:55 pm
