Hi, I am working with the WP77XX with Firmware release 11, Legato FW 18.09, and I am still getting the same error when I try _ifup wlan1_

_root@swi-mdm9x28:~# ifup wlan1  
Setup MT7697 UART  
Device: WP77  
Enable power control  
Initialized Linux WiFi modules  
insmod: can’t insert ‘/legato/systems/current/modules/mt7697wifi\_core.ko’: No such file or directory_

I have followed the wiki that you linked previously ([https://github.com/mangOH/mangOH/wiki/mangOH-Red-mt7697-WiFi](https://github.com/mangOH/mangOH/wiki/mangOH-Red-mt7697-WiFi)) working in the VM. I also followed another thread ([Using WiFi on mangOH Red + wp76xx running Legato 19.02 AF](https://mangoh.discourse.group/t/using-wifi-on-mangoh-red-wp76xx-running-legato-19-02-af/2766/3)) assuming that building the WiFi module would add the required kernel modules. As I mentioned in that thread I found warnings trying to build the _wifi.sdef_.

My next debugging step is going to be trying to manually build the linux distro. This seems like it might be excessive but I feel like I’ve hit a roadblock here.

Thanks!
