haha the story continues but I’ve nailed it down now I think.
So after successfully updating my nightly from yesterday with SoftwareUpdater today, I was back to the same old connectivity issues again.
There were 2 suspects:
- iaxwifi200 driver got a firmware update
- new root certificates (well, at least from last November) were installed
I could rule out #1 with booting back into the old working state (thanks to packagefs:-) and checking that the log is the same and the dirver is binary equivalent.
So this leaves me with option 2 - seems the new root certs don’t work here as well as the older ones from July 2024…
The old working package is:
ca_root_certificates-2024_07_02-1-any.hpkg
vs the new one is:
ca_root_certificates-2024_11_26-1-any.hpkg
Since basic network connectivity works and shows the same log, including DHCP, for both installation states, it must be the certificates.
