starfive_visionfive2: problem: The wifi is not working
Hello, it seems your image does not include the firmware file for the VisionFive kit that comes with wifi. It shows the following in dmesg:

It would be package firmware-misc-nonfree but I don't see anything named ECR6600U_transport.bin in there.
i think it will take some time until it lands in firmware-misc-nonfree - i'll most probably add a script to /scripts to install the firmware until this happens - thanks a lot for reporting this
You're welcome. I've downloaded the firmware from https://github.com/eswincomputing/eswin_6600u (files ECR6600S_transport.bin for SDIO and ECR6600S_transport.bin for USB) and put it under /lib/firmware, and it seemingly works but times out afterwards, know what can be done?
I've pasted a partial dmesg shortly after and before the firmware is loaded and fails by timeout. dmesg.txt
maybe @jakubtalich from https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/issues/141#issuecomment-1482527646 has an idea as he seems to have gotten it working? i do not have the wifi dongle, so i cannot test anything myself.
