@Alex-Kushleyev does it need additional usb wifi dongle?

@Alex-Kushleyev This is the drone in question so how exactly do you mean Wifi adapter

I am setting up a new Starling 2 Max (SKU: MRB-D0012-4-V2-C28-T8-M11-X0) and am unable to configure Wi-Fi.

The system reports:

voxl-wifi getmode → Mode: undefined, Hardware: single-mode (None)

voxl-my-ip only shows 192.168.168.100 (usb0)

iw dev returns no wireless interfaces

ip link shows no wlan0 or uap0

ping 8.8.8.8 returns Network is unreachable

I also verified that the Wi-Fi driver module exists and loads successfully:

88XXau.ko is present under /lib/modules/4.19.125/

modprobe 88XXau loads without errors

lsmod shows 88XXau loaded

However, no wireless interface appears after loading the driver. This Starling was taken directly out of the box and has not been modified.

System information:

System Image: 1.8.06-M0054-14.1a-perf

VOXL Suite: 1.6.3

Hardware Platform: M0054

Kernel: 4.19.125

Could you please advise whether additional configuration is required or if there may be an issue with the Wi-Fi hardware or image installation?
