NanoPi R5C wireless device not found

Describe the bug

With a fresh install of the 24.10-rc5 image, no wireless device is showing up. In FriendlyWrt the rtl8822ce m.2 wireless card was found and working.

OpenWrt version

r28304-6dacba30a7

OpenWrt release

24.10.0-rc5

OpenWrt target/subtarget

rockchip/armv8

Device

FriendlyElec NanoPi R5C

Image kind

Official downloaded image

Steps to reproduce

Booting a stock 24.10.0-rc5 squashfs image.

Actual behaviour

The wireless device is not found (iwinfo returns an empty output and, after installing pciutils, lspci does not list the wireless device).

Expected behaviour

The wireless should just work (tm).

Additional info

When running lspci -v the following error shows up after the initial 0000:00:00.0 pci bridge device line:

lspci: Unable to load libkmod resources: error -2

Not much in dmesg looks suspicious to me other than the lines like
[ 2.082026] pci_bus 0002:01: busn_res: can not insert [bus 01-ff] under [bus 00-0f]

Terms

• I am reporting an issue for OpenWrt, not an unsupported fork.

Start with the rockchip/armv8 target and the attached openwrt-24.10.0-rc5-nowifi-lspci-v.txt and openwrt-24.10.0-rc5-nowifi-dmesg.txt files. Compare the PCI bridge and bus-resource errors with how the rtl8822ce device is supported; done means the wireless device appears on a stock NanoPi R5C image and iwinfo reports it.
