WiFi and Bluetooth not working on Orange Pi 5 Max (Armbian Noble Edge 7.0-rc6)
Hello everyone.
I am currently running the following image on my Orange Pi 5 Max:
Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.668_Orangepi5-max_noble_edge_7.0.0-rc6_kde-neon_desktop
Unfortunately, I'm struggling with WiFi and Bluetooth issues:
WiFi: No wireless interfaces are detected (no option in network settings).
Bluetooth: The service is active, but it cannot scan or find any devices.
What I’ve tried so far:
Installed armbian-firmware and full-mirror-armbian-firmware.
Verified that common wireless tools and relative packages are up to date.
Checked rfkill list, but the adapters don't seem to be initialized correctly.
I noticed a similar discussion on the DietPi forums regarding the OPi 5 Max Bluetooth (link:DietPi), but I'm unsure if those specific workarounds apply to the current Armbian Edge kernel (7.0-rc6).
Could anyone point me in the right direction? Are there specific firmware blobs or device tree overlays I need to manually enable for this board?
Thank you for your time and for all the hard work on the Armbian project!
