Hello everyone,
I am using an Apalis imx8 4GB module with an Apalis Evaluation board 1.1.
I just got the Apalis Evaluation board, I connected a USB wifi dongle to one of the ports and the wifi worked on the board and everything was fine, now the next day , turning it on and the wifi dongle is not detected anymore, I tried re-plugging to different ports, restarting, testing with a different dongle, but nothing changes.
I tried one wifi dongle from ASUS and one from TP link, they work fine on the PC, and the ASUS one worked fine yesterday on the evaluation board.
Any ideas what is happening ?
Additional info:
When connected first time, I got this message:
Device ‘wlan0’ successfully activated with ‘f064700f-3ded-474a-95cb-aecfd7949198’.
today I can’t even detect wlan0 using the “nmcli device” command
but using “nmcli connection show” I get the following:
torizon@apalis-imx8-07278749:~$ nmcli connection show

also using "*nmcli device wifi list:
torizon@apalis-imx8-07278749:~$ nmcli device wifi list

Note: O2 is the wifi SSID
update 2:
I tried connecting to the wifi again anyways, it prompts for the password and gives the connection successful message but to ‘mlan0’ instead of ‘wlan0’
However, pinging the internet is not working and I cannot ssh into the ip of the device
torizon@apalis-imx8-07278749:~$ nmcli d
