Hi,

I'm quoting a posting on this list from 2022:

This is still necessary
? I got the same autoconfiguration error after  installing the 10.1 release image together with UEFI.

After I added the link to "br
cmfmac43455-sdio.Raspberry Pi 4 Model  B.txt", the missing NVRAM file was found, and I also saw the message  "CHIPACTIVE". But afterwards, shortly after going multiuser, the system  hard-resets and corrupts the file system.

It n
ever did that before, so it is very likely a result of the WiFi chip  activation. Is there any chance to run RPi4/UEFI with wireless network?

Regards,
