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?

LostInIgnorance

@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?

LostInIgnorance

@stephenw10 I am running the 1100 and yes there is nothing that shows up with the PCI command

stephenw10

Yes, OK. I've replicated that and opened a ticket internally. The PCIe device appears to me missing at boot.

LostInIgnorance

@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?

stephenw10

Currently it's only on our internal tracker. There's no fix yet so nothing has been merged.

Steve

LostInIgnorance

@stephenw10 Do you know if the missing PCI has been pushed and I can test again?

stephenw10

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.
