Wi-Pi usb wlan interface 'not available'

Post by hakaies »

Hello RevPi Community, can someone help point in the right direction to enable/activate a Wi-Pi USB wifi dongle?
RevPi Connect4 model 100378 with Bookworm

Code: Select all

pi@RevPi185053:~$ sudo ifconfig -a wlan0
wlan0: flags=4098<BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        ether 00:c1:41:33:0e:f4  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

Cockpit recognizes the network interface as "Ralink Technology Corp, RT5370 Wireless Adapter rt2800usb" however, I can not 'activate' the interface in nmtui nor in cockpit. I have setup the device in nmtui also. Cockpit lists status as 'Not available'
