Hi,
All Apple MacBook Pro models with Touch Bar contain a BCM43602 Wi-Fi chip.
This chip isn't working properly. While it is properly detected by brcmfmac
and even shows wifi networks nearby, connections only succeed when being very,
very close to the AP. Also 5Ghz networks aren't visible at all. Further
details are written down in an issue opened half a year ago, which hasn't seen
much activity since: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193121
As previous MacBook Pros had similar problems (see
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100201 and
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103201), which got resolved by a
firmware update, I suspect that could be the solution for the current problems
as well.
Is there anybody here who could take a look at that? That would be highly
appreciated.
Seems like your email(s) end up in my spam folder. I tend to chuck away
that folder without a glance, but today I did have a peek. Sorry for
missing previous attempts.
In bugzilla I see you are running the latest firmware, ie. 7.35.177.61.
The problem back then was that firmware was lacking functionality to
read the srom on the device. We fixed that with the firmware update. So
not sure what might be the issue this time. Also checked the debug
output file, but it seems to be missing details during probe. So if
possible please do:
$ insmod brcmfmac debug=0xd416

Arend
