Hi, > I found a workaround for the issue but neglected to mention it here; I have an update after trying this which I am even more confused by. I tried to remove all the wifi settings I'd configured in the Wii System Menu and reboot into NetBSD after reading the last email on this thread. I am now seeing that the wifi interface bwi0 is no longer listed in ifconfig (and of course, as a result there is no internet connectivity anymore). dmesg | grep bwi gives me the following: bwi0 at sdmmc1 function 1: Broadcom Wireless bwi0: autoconfiguration error: no BBP id for device id 0x044b This error is persistent across reboots, reimaging the SD card and re-setting-up the drivers and wpa_supplicant with the tar link, and even after re-adding my network configuration in the Wii system menu and getting a successful connection test there. I am worried about bricking my Wii if I do the wrong kind of system reset but presumably something needs to be reset that hasn't been, since it was working before. I am perplexed about how the Wii System Menu can interact with NetBSD in this way at all though. I also don't know what BBP is -- so I have a lot to learn. I have previously installed: IOS v50, Systemmenu v385, Priiloader v0.10.0 (r0x02b70b36). I believe that my Wii is on a pretty old version of system menu and of Priiloader but it seems like the setup I have is all versions which are comparably old to each other. I could upgrade it all if that would help but I'm not sure it would be worth the effort. Thanks, Anne
