| Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are functional on the Murata LBEE5HY2GY using beta firmware. Murata, the manufacturer of the Wi-Fi chip, has not yet released an official Wi-Fi and Bluetooth firmware. Digi will release official support as soon as Murata makes the firmware available and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth have been fully validated. |
MAC addresses
Digi programs one MAC address for the Wi-Fi interface during manufacturing of the SOM.
This is the MAC address used for the wlan0 interface.
IP settings
Digi Embedded Yocto defines configuration macros to set some of the most commonly used network interface settings.
See Customize the root file system.
By default, wlan0 is configured to obtain a DHCP address.
Wireless mode
By default, Digi Embedded Yocto configures the Wi-Fi interface in client infrastructure mode (also known as station) but it is also preconfigured to enable concurrent modes. When using concurrent mode, the interface is shared between all functionalities so overall performance is affected.
Maximum performance is achieved on the physical wlan0 when the Wi-Fi interface is not shared between multiple functionalities.
Digi recommends you always use the physical wlan0 interface and only configure virtual interfaces when using concurrent modes.

NetworkManager
NetworkManager is a daemon that simplifies the configuration and use of network interfaces.
It includes a command line tool, nmcli, which you can use to interact with the NetworkManager daemon.
You can also configure additional network interface settings by editing /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/nm.<interface>.
