Rock 3A Wifi 6236

@Stephen

I have ap6236 instead of ap6256 but I can’t figure out why I get the errors. Can you please check what is needed in order to have it working?

Kernel log:

Ouch, missing firmware!. Disregard the post… :astonished:

I would recommend that you use these new Ubuntu/Debian images, rock-3-v20210914, with wifibt packages pre-installed.
