Describe the bug
Hi. I'm using Emulec 4.8 on a 2016 Tanix TX5 pro TV Box with Amlogic S905x and 2gb of RAM. This TV Box came out with Android 6, so I had to update the firmware with a custom ROM to run the latest version of Emulec.

I used the "gxl_p212_2g" dtb, and everything I need seems to work except Wi-Fi (I haven't tried the Ethernet port or digital audio output). It detects networks but doesn't connect, or it connects but doesn't work. Bluetooth works.
With the custom ROM, the Aidan ATV 9 ROM, seems to work with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. If it's helpful, I'll post the link to the version that worked for me here (there are different ROMs based on the Wi-Fi chip).

The Wi-Fi chip of this TV Box is a Fn-Link 8223A-SR.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Start Emuelec
  2. Enable Wi-Fi in network settings and connect to a network
  3. The connection is very unstable, it's not completely absent but 99% of the time it doesn't work and the other 1% is very slow

EmuELEC version:

  • Version 4.8

Device (please complete the following information):

  • SOC: S905X
  • Brand: Tanix
  • Model: TX5 pro (2016)
