Hello,

are you using wifi USB adapters on your RockPro64 boards?

I'm trying to use one but without success. The device will disappear as
soon as it is powered up.

Example:
# ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev run0

run0 on uhub0
run0: <1.0> on usbus2
run0: MAC/BBP RT5390 (rev 0x0502), RF RT5370 (MIMO 1T1R), address
00:c1:40:61:01:cb
run0: [HT] Enabling 802.11n
ieee80211_load_module: load the wlan_amrr module by hand for now.
wlan0: Ethernet address: 00:c1:40:61:01:cb

# ifconfig wlan0 up

wlan0: Ethernet address: 00:c1:40:61:01:cb
run0: firmware RT3071 ver. 0.33 loaded
run0: at uhub0, port 1, addr 2 (disconnected)

It seems it's not a FreeBSD issue. I've tested it on NetBSD and Linux and
it fails too. The adapter is working fine, I've tested on my laptop. Maybe
it's an issue related to voltage regulation or some board limitation. So
I'm curious, is anybody successfully using wifi dongles on this board?

Thanks.
