It was incorrect. Actually, 5GHz WiFi with vc4 fails with 5260 MHz.
I run the following script:
#!/bin/sh
set -x
dpkg-query -W | fgrep firmware
lsmod | fgrep vc4
iw reg get
iw list
iw wlan0 scan
ip l
ip a
ping -c 10 192.168.1.2
cat /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,4-model-b.txt
journalctl -b
The output of the above script is attached.
I hope this is sufficient information for investigating the issue.
I removed ifupdown and ifconfig as they are obsolete.
Network config. is solely done by NetworkManager.
With vc4.ko loaded, association to an SSID of 5260 MHz fails with high probabilty
(very rarely succeeds). We have lots of lots of
NetworkManager[556]: <warn> [1616654312.2203] device (wlan0): Activation: failed for connection 'Yamashita9_203'
Without vc4.ko, the same SSID of 5260 MHz is used with no problem.
in the attached log with vc4.ko loaded.
Best regards, Ryutaroh
