I'm not sure whether to post this on the hardware forum or not, because I don't really understand the issue myself. You'll have to forgive me for my ignorance.
Essentially, I'm wondering whether any ubports/braveheart edition owners have encountered any issues with their wifi modules, besides what's described in the wiki, I guess.
The reason being that I haven't been able to detect or access a network with my ubports pinephone for a while, now. Not through the phosh settings, nor through iwlist. ip a returns the status of the interface, wlan0, as up and available, but otherwise I can't seem to do anything. I suspected that this may have had something to do with pmOS, what I'd had on my emmc when the issue aros, so I went and flashed mobian onto the phone, too. It seems to experience the same issue. That's why I wonder if it may be a hardware problem.
And, yes, I toggled the switches on the back, rebooted, etc.
Granted, it could possibly be a kernel problem, too, or maybe a specific package that both projects use, etc. That's why I decided to make this post: to see if anyone had already encountered something similar. Is it possible for an interface to be visible to the user despite not being functional?
I'm completely clueless as to how to go about the troubleshooting process. Even on my desktop, I try to get wifi working as soon as possible with wpasupplicant and hastily push whatever I've learned into the recesses of my psyche when I'm done. So if there's any directions that I should follow, procedures, I'll try to do them.
