SSV6256P wifi driver not working

[Kr3tt3k]

There seems to be a problem with the driver on cameras with SSV6256P Wi-Fi modules. The driver is not properly loaded:

[ 464.778810] SSV6XXX_USB 1-1:1.0: CHIP ID: �����������������
[ 464.778840] Chip "��������" is not supported by this driver
[ 464.778902] SSV6XXX_USB: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -22

As a workaround, Paul's suggestion helped: Remove stacfgpath=/usr/share/wifi/ssv6x5x-wifi.cfg from WLAN_MODULE_OPTS="stacfgpath=/usr/share/wifi/ssv6x5x-wifi.cfg" in /etc/init.d/S36wireless

do you have a dump of the stock firmware from this camera?

and by the way, what camera is that? the title is misleading as that driver works on at least two models.

Sorry. I kept the details short because I was advised on Discord to create an issue simply as a reminder to fix the problem.

I don't have a useful stock image, as it's a modified Galayou Y4 where I replaced the Wi-Fi module with an SSV6256P.

On Discord one suggested that there might be a problem with the driver for this module, and it simply hasn't been noticed yet because these cameras with that module aren't very common.
