After the upgrade process and the reboot, I loose the wifi connexion to my pi4. The upgrade finished like this:

What does ipmitool package?

This does not install properly. Fix this issue first, please

Update:

To be on the safe side, I have activated the WLAN on a fresh installation of my Pi4.

It works with the kernel 6.1.38+ as it should, but it takes a relatively long time, about 60s without having measured it, until the device is active.
I can't say whether this is always the case, I don't normally use the onboard wifi like this.

I have removed ipmitool and re-installed all packages that have been updated and I still have the same issue.
I did also the following command:

sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

another check during the startup, the new kernel cannot start wifi apparently:

I did the following operation:

apt-cache policy linux-image-bcm2836
sudo apt-get install linux-image-bcm2836=6.1.28+-1684360121
apt-cache policy xbian-package-initramfs-tools
sudo apt-get install xbian-package-initramfs-tools=20220711-0

and my wifi is back active, there is an issue on the 6.1.38

You have a second wifi adapter in the system. what is the purpose of this?

Please show me the output of sudo ifconfig and/or sudo ip a (running 6.1.38 kernel)

You are using a wpa_supplicant.conf instead of putting the wlan credentials directly into the /etc/network/interface, why ar you duing this

A dmesg | grep brcmfmac is not very helpful. If so, please post the complete dmesg after a boot on a pastebin server.

I have observed here that in my various kernel tests (I also frequently switch between 32 bit and 64 bit kernels) the wlan device has suddenly changed (wlan0 became wlan1, for example). This could possibly also be the case for you
if this is the case, you can correct it in the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.

I have removed the extra wifi adapter, I used it to try to reconnect my pi4 without the need of cable.

I think I have found the cause, at least I could reproduce it:

Older kernel packages also contained the wlan firmware for the onboard devices. This is no longer the case, as the firmware-brcm80211 package already contains all the latest firmware, see xbianonpi/xbian-package-kernel@74aaeae
If a newer kernel package is now installed, the required firmware files are missing.

Solution to the problem:
Reinstalling the firmware-brcm80211 package via
sudo apt-get install --reinstall firmware-brcm80211

Unfortunately, this cannot be automated and must be done manually, preferably after updating the kernel package before rebooting.

I still have problem with wifi after kernel update. The last one where it was fine 6.1.28+
WIFI was able to start, but I don't see any network on 5Ghz on channels above 64 (5.320 MHz). The only 5Ghz channels that work well for me after the update are 36 (5.180 Mhz) - 44 (5.220Mhz) - in addition, RPI4 after starting the system connects up to 2 minutes.
I did a clean install of Xbian (kernel 6.1.38+) - didn't help. Any ideas?

I did a clean install of Xbian (kernel 6.1.38+) - didn't help. Any ideas?

I don't have 5GHz WIFI here, but luckily my neighbour below me has a Fritzbox with 5GHz WIFI on channel 52 and so I can do some basic tests.

Here is my result:

  1. no matter which kernel (6.1.28 or 6.1.38) is installed here, it always takes the same time until the network is up.
  2. with kernel 6.1.28 I see the Fritzbox on channel 52, with kernel 6.1.38 and the firmware from the package firmware-brcm80211 I don't see it.
  3. if I use the firmware (and only this one!) from the 6.1.28 kernel package, the Frizbox is visible again with the 6.1.38 kernel.

This leads to the conclusion that the current official firmware is somehow faulty or at least behaves differently.

You can now try to get the firmware files from the 6.1.28 package and overwrite them, as you can see below:

xbian@xbian /root $ cd /tmp
xbian@xbian /tmp $ apt-get download linux-image-bcm2836=6.1.28+-1684360121

You're right. Your idea of replacing the firmware works.
On channels above 64 I don't have any foreign networks, so RPI4 connects much faster.
Thanks for the bypass.
It remains to wait for the corrected firmware.

It's strange, there has been movement again for the last 2 years RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree#17
