Error during wifi setting on BBB

[bern...@gmail.com]

Hi, 

I've just downloaded and instaled console version of Debian microSD (5.4.38-ti-rt-r8) on my BBB:

bone-debian-10.4-console-armhf-2020-05-18-1gb.img.xz

Unfortunately during setting wifi I stuck:

connmanctl> enable wifi
Error wifi: Method "SetProperty" with signature "sv" on interface "net.connman.Technology" doesn't exist

Which WiFi adapter are you using?

The version.sh scripts reports a normal BeagleBone Black (non-WiFi)
with no USB WiFi adapter present..

MediaTek mt7601u

dmesg told me that there wasn't firmware file for this adapter. 

So I found firmware 'mt7601u.bin' in the internet coppied mannually to: '/lib/firmware' reboted and I could set wifi using connmanctl.

Thanks.

Seems that you shouldn't have needed to do this manually. I'd think
"apt" would be able to install the files. Especially as the current BBB IoT
image seems to have installed it and I don't even have a WiFi module!

debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo find / -iname "mt7601u*"
[sudo] password for debian:

{Don't know about those 3.8.13 entries, but the search seems to be picking
up that "firmware-misc-nonfree" which is fairly recent}

I'd likely do

sudo apt update
sudo apt install firmware-misc-nonfree

on your system and check...

The console is meant to be a bare-bones install, it doesn't ship with
every WiFi firmware.. THat's what the IoT image is for.
