I can at least confirm a pi 5 that is able to find WiFi networks. In my case nmtui did work I chose something I remember was called ‘activate network’ and it would show a bunch (and prompt for password).

With kind regards,
Jairo 

edit: this is on the latest linuxcnc image 2.9.4 by rodw 

Thanks for the reply jairobbo!
That is really weird. I did exactly that but my list appear empty. Fresh install 2.9.4 and thensudo apt install network-manager
Did you use the 2.9.4 from downloads page, I think thats rodw's, right? Version of Rpi5? (I have the 4GB)

I also tried sudo apt install network-manager-gnomeAnd when I pop down the little menu there is a grayed out text "device not managed" and under that is only VPN connections. Any idea what might be off on my system?

I am new to LinuxCNC. I just performed a fresh installation using (rpi-4-debian-bookworm-6.12.11-arm64-ext4-2025-01-27-0404.img) with the Remora component. Can someone guide me step by step on how to set it up with a BTT SKR PRO V1.2?


Thanks,

If by daughtercard you mean the 7I84U, any firmware with a sserial port will do.

(basically and 7I96S firmware that does not use the serial expansion for modbus etc)

Yep, the 7I84U would be the daughtercard to the 7I96s. 
OK, I will try making it work with the FW you linked above.
As an aside, I have it downloaded already but have a bit of an issue making it show up in MesaCT even though I think it's in the right folder, but that's probably just me still overseeing something - will read some more posts and/or try mesaflash in the terminal. 

I'm new here and have same servo so decide to try your setup files. I was not able to achieve success with your files like MWalz did.
Maybe you can help me? Here is my output:

Yeah the whole switch from Ubuntu to Debian cost me a ton of money. I'm a Linux guy myself and I can work in any Linux distro even if it hurts my eyes, but we couldn't do that to our customers, most of whom are scared of Linux in the first place. We stayed on 2.6 until UEFI forced us to update to 2.8 and then again when parallel ports finally dried up and mesa cards forced us onto 2.9. Now PC motherboards are almost obsolete in general, and the switch to rpi was forced, but has actually been pleasant thanks to a lot of yours efforts
