    Hi,

    its an Ampak AP6212 combo module, which indeed feature a Broadcom BCM43438 wireless chip.

    Thanks.  I’m not having much luck finding support for the chip under Linux unless you are installing on a rasberry pi which is ARM based.

    I read somewhere that the BCM43438 identifies itself as the BCM43430 so maybe that firmware/driver will work for it for Kernel 4.1+
    [edit] Possible it uses the same Wifi as the Chuwi Hi8?  This page says the Hi8 uses the BCM43430.

    That’s a good hint. I also found this for the Chuwi vi10 Ultimate with has the same x5-z8300 processor so I imagine the results will be the same.

    It’s not very encouraging. I might be better off with the Hibook Pro or Cube iwork 10 that use the Realtek RTL8723BS WiFi. At least there seems to be more development work going on there.
