    Hi all,
    My neo stopped connecting to my local wifi today. I tried flashing a completely fresh udoobuntu, and the area where it usually shows the list of wifi available to connect to is empty.

    Any opinion?

    The wifi icon on the status bar where list of wifi is displayed shows Wi-fi is disabled. Any idea?

    I guess that before your Wi-Fi was working, isn't it?
    Your Wi-Fi chip may be burned.
    Try to reflash, if the problem remains please open a ticket

    Correct, it was working before. And it still works. But the way to make it work is not normal. It doesn't work with RC1 at all. But i managed to make it work with beta5.
    First i need to connect to a hidden network and then i need to reboot. This will sometime work. If it doesn't i need to sudo ifconfig wlan0 down and sudo ifconfig wlan0 up multiple time with constant reboot in-between to make it work. It is very inconsistent.

    Hi,
    I have a problem with WiFi which fits perfectly to the title of this thread. My WiFi stopped working but it was working before. I would say that it happened after re-flashing the SD with Ubuntu beta 1. I've done several tests on the WiFi.
    1. Configuration through Web doesn't show any available network.
    2. In /dev/ there is no wlan0 device.
    3. sudo rfkill list shows only hci0 Bluetooth device.
    4. sudo iw list doesn't give any result.
    5. I've tried different dtb file (imx6sx-udoo-neo-full-m4.dtb and imx6sx-udoo-neo-full.dtb) using uEnv in order to exclude any file corruption.
    6. Early u-boot log acquired through SerialDebug doesn't show any problem during dtb file upload.
    During tests I noticed that also Bluetooth isn't working.
    1. sudo hciconfig list gives the result as follows:
      Code:
      hci0:   Type: BR/EDR  Bus: UART
              BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00  ACL MTU: 0:0  SCO MTU: 0:0
              DOWN
              RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0
              TX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 commands:0 errors:0
    2. sudo hciconfig hci0 down then up doesn't help and gives the message:
      Code:
      Can't init device hci0: Input/output error (5)
    3. After this error in dmesg appears:
      Code:
      [ 5182.839109] hci0 a8641000
      [ 5182.839124] (stc):  chnl_id list empty :4

      [ 5195.538430] (stk) : timed out waiting for ldisc to be un-installed<3>[ 5195.546462] Bluetooth: st_register failed -22
    I'm looking for any hint how to confirm that the chip is not burnt.

    I ended up creating a ticket. Then had me go through a few more step to debug this issue and they concluded that my chip was burnt. I would suggest you start by opening a ticket and getting help from support.

    I confirm that the tests described in my previous post in this topic are sufficient to confirm that the BT/WLAN chip is broken.

    And? Did Udoo also confirm after you created the ticket? This forum is not for broken boards. But I suppose when you do your testa and add the results to your tocket it will help Udoo to confirm :)

    As @matib12 already knows, we told him to send us the board, so we can investigate the problem directly, but I ignore if he has already sent the board or not.
