OK, thanks.
I'll see if I can get time to understand what the issue might be.
During some initial research I did come across a brief description of a hardware problem with the Raspberry Pi 3 Wifi that may be related.

Getting Wifi isn't terribly important to me, but it would be nice to see it working.

Hi Mike, Mike Thompson wrote,
With a basic build of OpenADK for the Raspberry Pi 3, I'm getting the
following
error when I try to bring up wlan0.
# ifup wlan0 ip: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device command failed: No such device (-19) Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant Could not read interface wlan0 flags: No such device nl80211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect
commands
nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0 Could not read interface wlan0 flags: No such device wlan0: Failed to initialize driver interface ip: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
In /etc/network/interface, I have the following configured:
auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wireless-ssid HomeWiFi wireless-mode sta wireless-security wpa2 wireless-passphrase XXXXXXXXXXXX
I presume there is an additional configuration for OpenADK required to
enable
wlan0 on the Raspberry Pi 3, but I don't see anything obvious. I have
the 'iw'
and 'wpa_supplicant' packages enabled, but that doesn't seem to be the
issue.
Any tips on what I might be missing?
I do not think you missed anything, it is just a Bug. I once started to try to make it work, but got distracted. I look into it again. Strange thing, I installed Libreelec for Testing on my RPI3 and even this did not recognized the Wifi device. I am starting now with Raspbian to see what I am missing.
Hard to find an detailed information, which Linux kernel config symbols are required and what firmware files need to be installed.
