Raspberry Pi OS • Re: Wifi broken on 64-bit image after all 2022-04 releases (since bullseye) for RPI Zero 2W

I just built a 2024-07-04 Lite 64-bit IMG and it boots and runs fine on my pi with a full apt update/upgrade done. WiFi works fine.

Did you not use the file available in the download section of this site, but built an IMG yourself or am I misunderstanding here?

As said I used this:

https://downloads.raspberrypi.com/raspi ... ite.img.xz

But I also tried it with the rpi-imager, using the same image... same result...

The only way I could get to bookworm with a working wifi is like described on the other ticket by disabling upgrading that firmware:

viewtopic.php?t=366270#p2217190

My hardware:

$ cat /proc/device-tree/model
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W Rev 1.0

Currently with old wifi firmware, my wifi connects:

$ iw wlan0 info
Interface wlan0
ifindex 2
wdev 0x1
addr <hidden on purpose>
ssid <hidden on purpose>
type managed
wiphy 0
channel 1 (2412 MHz), width: 20 MHz, center1: 2412 MHz
txpower 31.00 dBm

Let me try this again.

I have two 02Ws. One of them was running a disk built a few months ago, prior to 2024-07-04, but was fully updated and running perfectly.

I then built a new disk using the exact XZ file you referenced. By "built", I mean that I used rpi-imager to burn it to an SD Card. I tried that disk on both of the 02Ws, and WiFi works perfectly and correctly on both.

Since you offered some technical details, here's the info from mine:My home wifi network is eero Pro devices (the original Pro).

So, here are at least two 02Ws that work fine when fully updated, including the most recent firmware that seems to be causing you problems:Lastly, as I previously mentioned, I pointed out that I had disabled ipv6 only as a matter of completeness, NOT in any way to suggest that ipv6 was a cause of any problem. Both of my 02Ws work correctly regardless of the ipv6 setting, as they should.

Lastly #2: NetworkManager provides very complete log information. Post the output from `sudo journalctl -b | grep -E "NetworkManager|wlan0" ` so we can have a look at those. Perhaps there is a hint there?

Can anyone else confirm the problem or is it just me and the people who wrote the other ticket to upgrade without the firmware being upgraded?

Based on my testing and the behavior of my devices, it's just you and the other person. If it were a widespread problem these forums would be literally overflowing with similar reports, and it's not.
