Wifi network not being created

[Ansel Misfeldt]

Hello,

One of our brand new VOXL Flights is having a wifi problem where it doesn't seem to be accessing the onboard wifi chip and is behaving differently than all the other identical units we've set up.

Steps
-Install system image
-Install voxl-suite
-Set up WiFi in access point mode
-Claims setup was successful, but no Wifi network is created

We then noticed there was no wifi network created so we checked and unlike every other system we've set up, this one doesn't have the second connection box for the Wifi network.


Any thoughts on how to fix this? From what we can tell VOXL doesn't seem to be communicating with the wifi chip to create the network. We've done this setup many, many times with the same procedure and firmware without issue, we're not sure what's going on.

Anyone have any ideas here? We need to get Wifi working on this unit and are at a loss what to try when this is the only unit out of an identical batch of 7-8 that we set up with the same procedure and identical FW.

Can you run the following after boot and compare what you see on a board with working wifi and non-working one:

dmesg | grep wlan

There should be a bunch of wlan-related messages and you could diff the output between the two boards to help narrow down the issue.
