   MNT Pocket Reform PSA: Some package installs appear to pull in a kernel upgrade. Unfortunately, this doesn’t automatically upgrade the matching WiFi driver package `reform2-qcacld`.

   After installing software with apt, make sure to run `apt install reform2-qcacld` or `apt upgrade` so that you have the latest WiFi driver.

   Otherwise, you can't connect to WiFi after reboot and will need USB/Bluetooth/Ethernet (or a MicroSD bootdisk) to get it back. We’re working on an automatic hook to fix this.

     update: we deployed a fix for this in the latest version of the `reform-qcacld2` package, which installs a post-installation hook in /etc/kernel/postinst.d that takes care of updating itself after a kernel upgrade.

     but to get this rolling, you need to `apt update && apt upgrade` once or at least upgrade the `reform-qcacld2` package.

     the updated version is preinstalled on production devices only from around the 190th device. sorry for the inconvenience!

     @josch @vee it was a typo, the package is called reform-qcacld2, not reform2-qcacld

     @vee @mntmn That package should be pre-installed on your pocket reform. Is it not? Do you have the mntre.com apt repository configured or made changes to your apt configuration? The package is definitely in the repo: https://mntre.com/reform-debian-repo/pool/main/r/reform-qcacld2/
