I have RPi3 + Amp+ and the Volumio image from the HiFiBerry installer (kernel version 4.1.19-v7+ #858 ). When connected by ethernet system works perfectly. However I can't get the wifi working as there is no wlan0 interface

iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning.

I have updated as follows

apt-get update

apt-get dist-upgrade

apt-get upgrade

apt-get autoclean

apt-get autoremove

Using the HiFiBerry Raspbian SD image the Wifi works perfectly.

I can't find anything relevant on the web. Any suggestions as how to resolve this problem please.

  Dear Laurie,
  
  

  the Volumio image for the RPI3 is kind of a hack. It was upgraded by us as there was no official RPI3 image for Volumio available. You might check the Volumio web site and try the Volumio 2 beta (Volumio 1 isn't maintained anymore).

  Best regards,
  Daniel

  i have a similar problem: installed volumio 1.55 via hifiberry installer on rpi3. i did not perform any updates. everything works except wifi.

   

  i have not tried volumio 2 but reports on the forums say this will not work with digi+, and to wait for an updated version.

   

  it seems there is no way at the present time to get volumio running on rpi3 + digi+. am i mistaken?
