Lo forums,
I have an old Rpi1 that runs a tiny python script running a temperature-controlled fridge. This has been running smoothly for many months.
I recently “borrowed” the Edimax USB wifi dongle for a few days, and since it’s been put back, the Balena device does not connect to wifi.
I flashed a new image on the SD card and tried to start over. Now I see the wifi device as inactive, when I connect with an ethernet cable:
# nmcli c

The driver for this should be present, as previously (a week ago) this was working fine.
From dmesg:

Could someone kindly point me in a direction that might resolve this please?
Cheers!
