WiFi not working on 5B android

#1

I have installed an AX210NGW card onto the wifi slot on my rock 5b. I am booting into android on an nvme drive from this guide here. The wifi card and bluetooth both do not work. Any suggestions?

It won’t work without a custom android build probably. You’ll need ax200 or a Radxa module.

Check the boot logs, it is possible it will complain it cannot find the firmware file for your card. If it does, locate the filename it complains about and search for it on the internet, then stick it where other firmwares are located (find / -name ‘*.fw’ will tell you).

If it doesn’t complain about a missing firmware, check for any errors related to your card and if there aren’t any, you’re out of luck without rebuilding like Incognito said.

How can I check the boot logs? New to android debugging stuff lol.

You can check these via dmesg (if it works) or the serial console.
