What issue are you seeing?
In general it seems to be working here:

@stephenw10 The issue I am seeing is no broadcast of the wireless. The interface shows correctly in the GUI, but no broadcast. This lead me to see what the interface was doing. From there I received this error but am unable to select any channels.
-
@lostinignorance I think if you select a "Standard" you will then be able to select a "Channel" associated with the selected "Standard".

@tedquade There's nothing but "Auto" in that group as well
-
@lostinignorance To confirm, the dropdown (the down pointer to the right) for "Standard" has only "Auto" available.

Hmm, the data in those drop downs just comes from the ifconfig output from the NIC.

@stephenw10 said in Wireless?:
ifconfig -m ath0_wlan0
Yes, that is correct. On 22.05 the wireless adapter exists and works correctly (works as an AP). On the latest version referenced below, the wireless interface no longer exists, nor shows up in shell.

Ah, interesting. Does it show up in
pciconf -lv?Amy errors shown in the boot log? Perhaps the driver failing to attach?

@stephenw10 Looks like that may be the culprit as I get no output from the command pciconf -lv
Here's the output from 22.05

If it doesn't even show up as a 'none' entry then it's probably some issue with the bus/host device.
Do you actually see no output from pciconf? That would also imply the PCIe subsystem has not been recognised.
I now see you're running arm64 though, is that a 2100?
-
@stephenw10 I am running the 1100 and yes there is nothing that shows up with the PCI command
-
Yes, OK. I've replicated that and opened a ticket internally. The PCIe device appears to me missing at boot.
-
@stephenw10 Can you let me know when this has been merged upstream and I may begin testing again? Is there a redmine I can track?
-
Currently it's only on our internal tracker. There's no fix yet so nothing has been merged.
Steve
-
@stephenw10 Do you know if the missing PCI has been pushed and I can test again?
-
No fix yet. Unfortunately it's low priority as very few users actually make use of the PCIe slot.
It may have to be pushed to the 23.05 release.
