Troubleshooting • Raspberry Pi 5 Wifi Won't Connect

My RPi5 won't connect to Wifi.

I tried configuring wifi when using the imager, and that didn't work. Then I tried a fresh image without configuring it and doing it via raspi-config, and that gave me the error message:

There was an error running option S1 Wireless Lan

Then I tried editing wpa_supplicant.conf and that didn't work. And of course the usual array of ifconfig wlan0 down/up and reboots and nothing seems to help. I also tried connecting the ethernet cable (which does work) and running apt-get update/upgrade which also updated the board's firmware, and that didn't fix the problem.

Also, I have tried this both with the official power supply and with a much beefier one I have, and I have made sure that the Wifi Locale is set (to US). Also there is nothing but a keyboard plugged into the USB ports and it is USB2.

I have also tried running sudo wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0 manually and the output just keeps looping and it never connects.

Running a scan via sudo iwlist wlan0 scan does seem to work, as it shows the SSID I am trying to connect to along with its details. It just refuses to connect.

How do I get the onboard wifi working?

Edit: This is using the latest 64-bit Bookworm Lite image.
