Describe the bug
I haven't been able to get my PiKVM onto wifi reliably

To Reproduce
I've tried to set up wifi through the pikvm.txt but the change never seems to take effect. I've also tried the wpa_passphrase command and also through netctl profiles. After reboot, the wpa_supplicant-wlan0.config changes back to empty. I've made sure to mount the file system to rw and back to ro when I'm finished.

Expected behavior
I've tried to connect a the pikvm to 2 different wifi's: the first is a standard wpa2 network and the other is an open network that uses Mac authentication. neither of these networks work and the changes never seem to take effect.

PiKVM info:

  • rpi-4
  • PiKVM hat v3
  • csi bridge
  • kvmd 3.48-1
    -kvmd-fan 0.1-1
    -kvmd-oled 0.8-1
    -kvmd-platform-v3-hdmi-rpi4 3.48-1
    -kvmd-webterm 0.41-1
  • ustreamer 4.9-1
  • Linux kernel: Linux pikvm 5.10.52-13-ARCH #1 SMP Sat Nov 20 09:40:57 MSK 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux

Additional context
I've tried manually setting up the wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf file but after a reboot, the contents of the file change to "passphrase must be between 8..63 characters" like the error output of a command, but I can't figure out why.

Hello. Please don't use netctl, this is a legacy way to configure network.
Try to follow this guide:
