Hi there,
Recently you helped me to setup a WiFI AP on Armbian and a bananapim2p board: https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/2395-access-point-mode-with-ap6212-on-armbian-521/
The current problem I am facing: the dhd module on armbian 5.25 does not on my bananapim2p boards.
To be precise:
I have one bananapi m2p where the dhd module loads perfectly on armbian 5.25, I created an image of this board's emmc and flashed the emmc of two different m2p boards.
The dhd config file looks like:
cat /etc/modprobe.d$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/dhd.conf options dhd op_mode=2 firmware_path=/lib/firmware/ap6212/fw_bcm43438a0_apsta.bin
With the modprobe configuration the m2p boards hang on boot (raising network interface ...) and boot perfectly if a remove the module configuration.
I am also not able to manually load the dhd module:

Do you have any idea how I could further debug this issue?
It would be great if I could give back to the amazing armbian project, by helping to fix this issue - in case anybody else faces similar issues.
