Quick Start WIKI: docs.banana-pi.org/en/BPI-R4/GettingStarted_BPI-R4; Firmware Download: docs.banana-pi.org/en/BPI-R4/BananaPi_BPI-R4; Tips: If you need to use the WiFi7/4G/5G function, use the MTK firmware.
linux-5.4 kernel include MT76 wifi driver, it can only support BE14000 wifi card. it can support 2.4G, 5G, and 6G, but ubuntu-22.04’s network-manager utility package can’t support 6G wifi. So we are waiting for the latest package. Linux-6.1 kernel doesn’t include the MT76 wifi driver, it can’t support the BE14000 wifi card.
