| 16:25 | KBme> | I'm having this issue with the ti wireless card on the hummingboard2: |

| 16:25 | KBme> | it looks like the firmware is still outdated, they recommend using 8.9.0.1.55 |
| 16:26 | KBme> | jnettlet[m], what do you think? where can I get the newer firmware? |
| 16:26 | KBme> | also, this doesn't happen on all machines with the ti wifi card, just some. |
| 16:33 | jnettlet[m]> | KBme: you can get them from the service_pack branch at git://git.ti.com/wilink8-wlan/wl18xx_fw.git |
| 16:33 | jnettlet[m]> | but those firmware files are from 2016 |
| 16:34 | jnettlet[m]> | yeah you can see that thread is from 2016. The firmware files we have are from 2018 |
| 16:42 | KBme> | howcome the versions are smaller? |
| 16:42 | KBme> | jnettlet[m], ? |
| 16:44 | KBme> | so why are more than half of the ti machines simply not connecting to my wifi network? |
| 16:45 | jnettlet[m]> | KBme: that is something the TI would have to answer. I have no idea. |
| 16:46 | jnettlet[m]> | as for the connections. What software are you trying to use to connect? |
| 16:46 | KBme> | wpa_supplicant |
| 16:49 | KBme> | jnettlet[m], I'll have to do some more testing but I've had some wird errors with the ti wifi card |
| 16:51 | jnettlet[m]> | KBme: you can give the other firmware files a try. No harm in testing them. |
| 16:52 | jnettlet[m]> | TI seems to have spread their firmware out in all sorts of random places. Just like the BT software is only available in the service packs even though they have 2 public git repositories with older versions |
| 16:57 | KBme> | hardware vendors working like it's still the '80s |
