ARM – CuBox – Back to 4.1, and Forward to 4.3-rc1..
I encountered more ‘network missing’ issues with Kernel 4.2 on the CuBox-i4 Pro, so reverted to Kernel 4.1.6, and all was well, again.. I have since updated to Kernel 4.3-rc1 (from kernel.org), and everything – so far – seems to be working OK..

Hi Robert
Were you able to get wifi working on the cubox with these newer kernels . I’ve tried with 4.4 and now 4.5rc1 . both compile OK but no wifi. tried compiled in and also as modules. The drivers don’t get loaded nor does the firmware get pulled in. Any clues would be welcome

Hi Mike,
I didn’t test wifi on the CuBox, and most of the ARM devices I have seem to have ‘difficulties’ with it.. If they only support 2.4GHz then they are pretty useless at my location, in any case, due to swamping by too many other devices in the area..
Several people seem to have had problems due to the correct firmware not being installed – there is more detail here: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/brcm80211
If it helps, I have recently uploaded a 4.4.1 kernel config, at http://pastebin.com/Kbexi0A5
