Unable to enable wireless for raspbian #202

Closed paul-foster closed 3 years ago

paul-foster commented 3 years ago

I can't seem to re-enable the wireless. I started by going to raspi-config but there is no device recognized. I thought the device would simply be disabled, but it appears as if it doesn't even exist. How was the wifi removed to provide an FRC legal device?

I believe the actual package that allows wifi is not installed. You'd have to rebuild the image or ethernet in and install this package.

The kernel driver is blacklisted. You can unblacklist it by removing /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf. If you have a 5 GHz model, you'll also probably want to re-enable the 5GHz support with the following:

echo 0 > "/var/lib/systemd/rfkill/platform-3f300000.mmcnr:wlan"
echo 0 > "/var/lib/systemd/rfkill/platform-fe300000.mmcnr:wlan"

Thank you. raspi-config now shows the option to set the SSID
