I am trying to use wifi-connect on a new Compulab IOT-GATE-IMX8PLUS. I deployed it on the same fleet as some RPI4’s that work flawlessly with wifi-connect.

The device (Intel WiFi 6E AX210) seems to have the necessary capabilities:

```auto

```

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there,

Thanks

I was just able to do this now that I got the LTE modem working and could collect logs:

```auto

looks like its related to this issue: ["Undefined device type: 30" when starting wifi-connect · Issue #397 · balena-os/wifi-connect · GitHub](https://github.com/balena-os/wifi-connect/issues/397) potentially?

It could be, but the issue is two years old… This one seems more promising [Failing to start on Raspberry Pi Zero W running Bullseye: D-Bus failure · Issue #416 · balena-os/wifi-connect · GitHub](https://github.com/balena-os/wifi-connect/issues/416)

I realized my version of wifi-connect was pinned to an older release. Trying the latest version now.

EDIT: it works with the latest release, my bad!
