emOS v0.9

WiFi from the console on every Echo, including routers running WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode.

What changed

  • em-wifi joins WPA2/WPA3 transition-mode networks. These are the
    default on current UniFi and many other routers, and em-wifi listed them
    as "WPA3 - not supported" and refused them. The Echo joins them as WPA2.
    Networks it genuinely cannot join (enterprise/EAP, OWE) are now named as
    such instead of being tried as open networks (#624).
  • em-wifi is now in FireOS 5 images too, not only FireOS 6, so every
    emOS Echo can set WiFi from the console. It no longer writes a config
    FireOS 5's supplicant cannot read.
  • The console prompt names the device by its serial instead of
    root@android, so two Echoes on USB can be told apart.
  • Two boot-time checks on the WiFi firmware path, which log a clear reason
    where a failure used to show only as wlan0 never appearing.

Upgrading

Re-run the provisioning wizard's build and flash steps. Nothing on /data is
touched, so your WiFi and console password survive.

Controllers from 2.24.1 build images from this release. FireOS 5 images pick
up em-wifi once the controller is 2.25.0 or later.

Known issues in this release

  • WiFi on FireOS 6 with a WPA3-only network does not work and cannot: the
    driver has no SAE and the kernel is too old for us to do it in userspace.
    Use WPA2 or WPA2/WPA3 mixed (#536).

Checksums

Verify the assets against the release page before flashing anything.
