Re-enable NetworkManager on the UAP interface #63

Closed leograba closed 1 month ago

leograba commented 2 months ago

The NetworkManager trying to manage the UAP interface on kernels newer than 5.15 led to a bug where the Wi-Fi takes a long time to connect to a network. Due to that, the interface was blacklisted so Wi-Fi client mode works out-of-the-box.

That said, the original issue happened due to the behavior of the mwifiex device driver, therefore when the driver is fixed we must re-enable NetworkManager to manage that interface.

          > Doing this as a short term solution seems sensible to me, as long as we keep a reminder for undoing it later once the driver problem is solved.

Maybe we could have a ticket on our backlog to remove this. @leograba?

The original issue was fixed at the driver level and will be available on the next nightly onward. Here's the commit: https://git.toradex.com/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?h=toradex_ti-linux-6.1.y&id=3b3ed3004c6835755f527729304f53fb34a54bfd

We are unblocked to revert the blacklisting of the interface when we want to.
