Hi All, Perhaps someone can throw some light on why out of the box, the WiFi on the R3 does not work. It spews dmesgs messages when I attempt to enable it in LuCI, an example below:

We can see some driver issues above. I have removed the serial adapter no change, attempted various package upgrades, no change. Secondly, if I install a stable release such as 23.05.0 or 23.05.5 I do not even get an MTK tab at all, no wireless! I am a little surprised given plenty of articles saying how fast it is and on my new boards, of which I have several to pick from, none work out of the box with WiFi. Perhaps its a deeper config issue but with driver messages its seems deeper than a spurious config mistake.
