Hi all, Just wanted to say thanks for the helpful advice in this thread. I've just got one of the BBB Wireless boards and flashed it to the latest Debian IoT image. I'd spent a while trying to figure out why my custom overlay wasn't working (took a bit to figure out uboot given all the info on the web is still talking about cape manager), so I decided to distract myself by figuring out why the wifi wasn't working. Turns out my eeprom was fubar'd too! I got mine from Digi-key so it looks like a fairly common issue.
Anyway problem now solved and wifi working! Turns out my custom cape is also now loading, although I only figured that out by looking at the pin configuration. dmesg doesn't seem to have any useful information about cape loading, and I haven't come across an easy way like the old "cat $SLOTS" approach to figure out what overlays are loaded. Thanks again.
