Description

I've followed the installation instructions described here and pre-configured the Wi-Fi settings (Wifi Preconfiguration). Also went through the troubleshooting list.

I've created the wpa_supplicant.conf file in the /boot directory, but when booting the PI, it enters a boot loop after the issue:

Starting wpa_supplicant: no device

Having read through several discussions here, I've tried several images (using both writeimage.sh and Balenaetcher for flashing the images):

• https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneyeos/releases/tag/nightly-dev
• https://github.com/jawsper/motioneyeos/releases/tag/20211113
• https://github.com/jawsper/motioneyeos/releases/tag/20220119-dev

I've also tried building an image from the dev branch (I can see it's supposed to have support for Zero 2W), but it exited with an error and investigating the issue is beyond my expertise.

I've tried placing the wpa_supplicant.conf file in several directories, /boot, root of the partition, /etc.

I've also tried adding the following line to the config because my router uses both 2.4 and 5Ghz frequencies:

freq_list=2412 2417 2422 2427 2432 2437 2442 2447 2452 2457 2462 2467 2472

To make sure the hardware works, I've installed Raspberry Pi OS and the device works, it's connected to the Wi-Fi.

Any help would be appreciated.
