Hello,

I received my BBBW the other day.  Everything worked fine including the wireless.  I updated it with the latest Stretch LXQT image -- Debian 9.3 2018-01-28 SD LXQT and the wireless no longer works.  When I type root@beaglebone:/# connmanctl and then type > scan wifi it get the following error, "Error /net/connman/technology/wifi: Method "Scan" with signature "" on interface "net.connman.Technology" doesn't exist".  When I type ifconfig I get, 

root@beaglebone:/# ifconfig

I see no wlan.  There is a previous post that descripibes grounding TP1.  I did the following

GND TP1 then run as root: 

dd if=/opt/scripts/device/bone/bbbw-eeprom.dump 
of=/sys/devices/platform/ocp/44e0b000.i2c/i2c-0/0-0050/eeprom 

I rebooted but still no wifi.  Just to be sure, I am using a Beaglebone Black Wireless.  Any thoughts?
