Hi, I am also facing the same problem: wl12xx: ERROR firmware boot failed despite 3 retries
I am getting wlan0 node.
When I do netcfg, I am getting wlan0 as down as below.
lo UP 127.0.0.1/8 0x00000049 00:00:00:00:00:00
can0 DOWN 0.0.0.0/0 0x00000080 00:00:00:00:00:00
eth0 UP 0.0.0.0/0 0x00001043 00:19:b8:01:04:e9
tunl0 DOWN 0.0.0.0/0 0x00000080 00:00:00:00:00:00
sit0 DOWN 0.0.0.0/0 0x00000080 00:00:00:00:00:00
ip6tnl0 DOWN 0.0.0.0/0 0x00000080 00:00:00:00:00:00
wlan0 DOWN 0.0.0.0/0 0x00001002 de:ad:be:ef:00:00
I think, to make wlan0 up, wpa_supplicant should run. But when I am running wpa_supplicant, I am getting the following errors
From the log of logcat, it seems the problem with wpa_supplicant:
