I ran into the same problem recently. Are you sure you're running the install as sudo `sudo ./install.sh`? Also, make sure your voxl is in station mode, not softap, as it needs access to the internet. You can switch it with `adb shell voxl-wifi station <SSID> <PWD>`. More details here https://docs.modalai.com/wifi-setup/.

Cheers

@PawelJ Thank you for the suggestion.

Actually, I am facing another issue with my board, i.e. my board is going offline (https://forum.modalai.com/topic/289/adb-device-offline?_=1625029971070) and hence I am not able to communicate with it.

Once I am able to communicate it I will check this.
