Hi. Can chroot & update, no worries. Which image would be best to flash? Ta.

Hi, I've recently ordered new RPi Zero 2 W. I've managed to boot using 32bit image (ArchLinuxARM-rpi-2-latest) unfortunately wifi isn't working out of the box. Package firmware-raspberrypi-20211028-1 installs firmware 43436S for "Future Zero 2 W boards" as commit message says https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/commit/bda9207acee945633464e89614f3717b856579b5#diff-3a1cbc702fdef4c74499f883e4a5c74852ac4f31cd14955a714bb69b820bf81d

My RPi Zero 2 W needs older firmware - 43436 which was commited on Oct 16, 2020

I've put needed firmware and wifi now works.

@graysky could you add brcmfmac43436 to firmware-raspberrypi package?

@alteriks, yes. For the record, which kernel are you running? uname -a

Thanks, would you be willing to try the linux-raspberrypi4 kernel? If it does not boot, you'll have to chroot the image to install linux-raspberrypi but should be easy for you.

Hi together,

I just tried the raspberry pi 4 arch image, downloaded via http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinux ... est.tar.gz.
This is booting fine but looks like the kernel support for the wireless device is missing.
Since I need the USB port for the keyboard, I'm not able to use a USB wireless device. I have no USB hub.
I tried to boot this system in an older raspberry pi zero w, to update to the latest kernel, but with this hardware it does not boot.
I get stuck after the rainbow screen with a blinking green led.

Is there any chance to put the missing driver onto the sd card with my notebook and install it afterwards from the system itself?
