I have a brand new Rasberry Pi 4 and was trying to utilize Mainsail 2.0.0. I flashed Mainsailos 2.0.0 on to a micro sd card using Pi Imager. I had set the Wifi Credentials and even created the wpa_supplicant.conf in the root file. However I was still having issue with connecting the board to WIFI. I ended up connecting ethernet and SSH'd into the board. From here I check the network manager "nmcli". Which I got the response:
[
wlan0: unavailable
"Broadcom BCM43438 combo and Bluetooth Low Energy"
wifi (brcmfmac), 2C:CF:67:42:3C:9D, sw disabled, hw, mtu 1500'
]

From here I checked the RFKill List and found that wlan was soft blocked. I unblocked it and yet the wlan in nmcli was still unavailable. I am stumped. I don't know how to get this board to connect to wifi. Please assist.

Pls use the search, before opening a new post. This topic was already...

Wpa_supplicant also doesn't exist anymore in the Debian bookworm image.

Thanks for this incredibly helpful response! However it turns out I did search the posts.... to no avail. But if you could point me to that thread it would be helpful maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing.

Also the wpa_supplicant is still on yalls website on how to change the wifi credentials so maybe update to indicate it's not relevant.

Once again please assist.

Thanks for the thread! I flashed the testbuild on to my SD card and WLAN was no longer "unavailable". So I just added the headless_nm and it fixed everything. Once again thanks for the help!
