Wifi greyed out/Not initializing
name: Wifi greyed out/Not initalizing about: WiFi button stays greyed out in PINN
Describe the bug ever since upgrading to 3.9.7 , Pinn does not seem to start the wifi or recognize it. I know the wifi works just fine because its working when i boot other OS's.
To reproduce boot into pinn holding shift,clicking, etc
Expected behaviour like in 3.9.3 the wifi button lights up not long after booting in and closing the wired connection error
Actual behaviour boot into pin, close wired connection error. but wifi stays greyed and no items load
System Add answers to the following questions:
- Which model of Raspberry Pi? Pi 4 8GB
- Which version of PINN? 3.9.7
Logs
If applicable, add the relevant output from /tmp/debug or dmesg.
Additional context Downgrading to 3.9.3 fixes this
There was an issue with the kernels in my first upload of 3.9.7. It has now been updated. Please try installing it again. If it was an upgrade and you don't want to lose all your existing installations, then just download https://sourceforge.net/projects/pinn/files/pinn64/kernel8.img/download and replace it on the PINN partition. Hopefully that should fix it.
thank you so much. im back on 3.9.3 at the moment. i will update soon but i have no doubt it will be fixed. ive only had a pi for like a week so im going to guess you know alot more haha.
Upon updating today to 3.9.3 to 3.9.7 it still seems to be doing to same thing, i even downloaded the kernal and replaced the one in the pinn partition but it didnt seem to have any effect
Just a note: The same issue on my Raspberry Pi 400 (4GB) when upgrading from PINN 3.9.3 to latest 3.9.7
I’m having the same issue. How do I downgrade while preserving my OSs that I installed on top of PINN?
For now, just replace with the PINN v3.9.3 file: bcm2711-rpi-400.dtb for Raspberry Pi 400 and the file bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb for the Raspberry Pi 4 and wifi works for me again. Just do it on a Windows Laptop / PC on the RECOVERY partition
This issue is just another symptom that has the same cause as #918. I have pulled 3.9.7 as a bad build and will release a replacement once it is building properly again. You can refer to https://github.com/procount/pinn/issues/918#issuecomment-3163654797 for details on how to revert to 3.9.3.
Please consider this issue CLOSED and continue any discussion on #918 (although I will not actually close this issue just yet as it may serve as a useful pointer for other users experiencing similar problems,)

Perfect. It worked for me.
