Encryption breaks WiFi

Open avoiceofreason opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Using the "2021-07-01" version of BerryBoot v2.0 Initial WiFi configuration works Selecting File system either ext4 or btrfs Selecting Encrypt disk check box

On reboot BerryBoot loses ability to use or configure WiFi

The Encrypt disk feature appears to be the breaking feature. Not encrypting disk and Wifi continues to work after reboot.

+1 Confirmed with 2x Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1 with latest eeprom (Sep 3 2020) and "firmware" (Jun 8 2021) Issue exists on both BerryBoot versions "2021-07-01" and "2020-11-03" WiFi works without issue on first and only initially installed OS (Debian/RPiOS and Manjaro tested separately with fresh installs on USB flash drive - same LUK/encrypted drive as shared with BerryBoot install), yet WiFi not working within BerryBoot interface - so issue is clearly BerryBoot and/or driver-related rather than hardware or configuration issue.

Error messages: Error connecting: Error connecting to wifi. Check settings in /boot/wpa_supplicant.conf Connection: No connection ...when click down arrow - hidden window briefly appears/disappears that says "loading drivers" with partial progress bar. ... then alternates between the following two windows for several repetitions before crash/reboot:

  1. [No wifi device found No wifi USB device connected, or your device may not be supported] [OK]

  2. [Wifi settings Wifi settings Network: Wired connection (no wifi connections detected) WPA password: [OK] [Cancel]
