WiFi on Q4OS 1.6 in Raspberry Pi 3
I installed Q4OS 1.6 in RPi3, but the WiFi is not being recognized...
Not appear the wireless networks...
Am I doing something wrong?

Re: WiFi on Q4OS 1.6 in Raspberry Pi 3
WiFi should work out of the box, the same way as for Q4OS-1.4.12 . As far as we know, some RPI boards needs to be restarted to get WiFi to work. First try to scan wireless networks in terminal:
$ nmcli dev wifi list
and put result here to analyze.

Re: WiFi on Q4OS 1.6 in Raspberry Pi 3
Dear Q4Team,
The command:
$ nmcli dev wifi list
Simply returns no value!
But the command:
$ nmcli dev
Returns:
DEVICE | TYPE | STATE | CONNECTION
eth0 | ethernet | disconnected | --
lo | loopback | unmanageable | --
It seems that the RPi3 WiFi device is not being recognized in version 1.6.
The strange thing is that this same RPi3 card I'm using the WiFi worked perfectly in the previous version (1.4.11), but in version 1.6 WiFi is not recognized and does not work!

We can do some investigation of that issue. Please run in terminal:
$ reportq4
and attach generated file here to analyze or send it via e-mail support@q4os.org

In "Hardware Device Manager", the item "Network" features only one device (I believe it is the wired connection):
Standard Microsystems Corp. SMSC9512/9514 Fast Ethernet Adapter

I sent 'qreport.tar.gz' file to the support email.
Presented a message of "lspci: not found" on terminal.

Re: WiFi on Q4OS 1.6 in Raspberry Pi 3
You just need to install firmware for the wireless device:
$ sudo apt-get install firmware-brcm80211
and drop a line here, even if successful, please.

Re: WiFi on Q4OS 1.6 in Raspberry Pi 3
Good Morning!
I did the following tests:
I used another RPi3 board (new and closed in the box) for testing and WiFi still did not work in 1.6.1...
Then I connected the board in a wired network and gave the commands:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install firmware-brcm80211
I rebooted the device and the WiFi worked properly !
I noticed that you released a new version 1.6.1.1 to the RPi, this new version fixes this issue?
Greetings
