Getting WiFi working?
geerlingguy opened this issue · 9 comments
I was wondering if anyone else has gotten WiFi working following PiKVM's guide: https://docs.pikvm.org/wifi/
I noticed that dtoverlay=disable-bt is enabled in the PiKVM image /boot/config.txt file, but if I comment out that line and reboot, I can't get the Pi to boot at all anymore :/
That is weird when I did my pikvm I did the wifi in the first steps and that worked.
To be honest I didn't try that method :D
I tried setting up WiFi after the first boot, following the docs I linked to, and had trouble there.

Excuse me, have you solved this problem? If not, I will test again
I am also having this issue. I got a CM4 with eMMC 16GB and WiFi (all I could find).
After spending a day trying with an sdcard i read that i have to exclusively use the eMMC. (my first CM4).
I got everything working and I decided to give WiFi a try.
I just can't get it to work. I don't even see the device in ifconfig.
Check https://askubuntu.com/questions/1326027/raspberry-pi-4-compute-module-4-cm4-no-wifi-with-ubuntu-20-04-server
Looks like the same issue
Just cd to /lib/firmware/brcm
rw and "ln -s brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,4-model-b.txt brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,4-compute-module.txt" should probably fix it
modprobe brcmfmac
modprobe brcmutil
indeed now gives a link visible with "ip link"

@arjanwaard Thank You ... you were spot on ... just change the name of the symbolic link based on my error message.

@ThomasVon2021 it would be good if you included the above in the wiki somewhere, how to enable WiFi.
The wifi problem has been solved.See:
