* buildroot c65b0306bb...b2077df873 (1): > package/brcmfmac_sdio-firmware-rpi: bump version to 4c1789e Raspberry Pi kernel 6.6 driver for BCM43455 (used in RPi 3B+/4B) calls new API which uses the DUMP_OBSS feature for channel selection. If it's not preset, it results in drivers reporting errors, e.g.: brcmf_set_channel: set chanspec 0xd099 fail, reason -52 The RPi OS firmware was updated but the package we use for this firmware contains an old version that lacks this support. Update to latest version synced from RPi upstream to fix the issues. The root cause is explained in [1] by @ragazenta. Both disabling the DUMP_OBSS and updating the firmware makes the errors go away.

Home Assistant Operating System
Home Assistant Operating System (formerly HassOS) is a Linux based operating system optimized to host Home Assistant and its Add-ons.
Home Assistant Operating System uses Docker as its container engine. By default it deploys the Home Assistant Supervisor as a container. Home Assistant Supervisor in turn uses the Docker container engine to control Home Assistant Core and Add-Ons in separate containers. Home Assistant Operating System is not based on a regular Linux distribution like Ubuntu. It is built using Buildroot and it is optimized to run Home Assistant. It targets single board compute (SBC) devices like the Raspberry Pi or ODROID but also supports x86-64 systems with UEFI.
