Wifi connection on WIFI card

Hi @thgreasi

I just would like to ask is there any progress on this topic?

My manager had a talk with Carlo, the director of tech (Europe). Carlo said your team will include the wifi support. Could you give us a time frame on it?

thanks
Yiyu

Hi @Yiyu
We have released balenaOS v2.26.0+rev3 earlier this week, which includes the firmware for AC3160.
Thanks again for bringing this up.
Please give us a note if you face any issues with it.

Kind regards,
Thodoris

So sorry for starting this up again. but I seem to be having an issue which is symptomatically exactly the same as this, and this thread has got me the closest to understanding it.

I have an UP Squared with an Intel Wireless-ac 9260 inteface which i cannot see with nmcli

# nmcli r
WIFI-HW  WIFI     WWAN-HW  WWAN    
missing  enabled  missing  enabled

i’ve but a buster container on there and installed lspci which outputs

04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless-AC 9260 [8086:2526] (rev 29)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wireless-AC 9260 [8086:0014]
        Kernel modules: iwlwifi

dmesg gives me this

and a think i might be on the right track with it is the firmware that is not in /lib/firmware/

but i can’t install the firmware on balena os from linux-firmware due to the read only fs

any help would be greatly appreciated
