Does wifi here not considered as custom config? if ie true if should be orangepi_pc_plus_wif_defconfig? [1] https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/839237/ thanks!

However, we have considered for a number of boards that have WiFi support that it makes sense to enable the relevant driver and firmware to enable WiFi. This is quite different from Qt5: for WiFi, there is basically no other option than using this firmware and this driver. For graphics, you may want to use Qt5. But you may also want to use X11, or Wayland/Weston, or, etc. So Qt5 is a lot less "the obvious thing that everybody will obviously want to use on this board". Also, installing this firmware file and building this driver probably adds 20 seconds to the build time of the defconfig. It's not exactly the same for Qt5 :-) Best regards, Thomas
