Hi Rudolf,
Thanks for your response and comments.

Not that bad, the WiFi interfaces was fine, but it could not get dhcp
response and IP address so an automatic private IP address 169.254 was
assigned

I could see WiFi information well, it is not a major problem, but the
subtle issues are connman and wpa_supplicant did not set up the WiFi
driver correctly.

Did you mean to enable CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB? No, I did not
install it in the Zeus version either so I don't see that could be an
issue.

No error in connman, I don't think it is connman or wpa_supplicant
issue, my suspicion is something missing in Honister built image to
prevent connman and wpa_supplicant to set up the WiFi driver
correctly.
It is not the first time I have the WiFi setup trouble to get WiFi
169.254 address, when I upgraded from Thud to Zeus, I got the exactly
the same problem that WiFi was assigned by a 169.254 address, no dhcp
response, at time, I was totally convinced it was connman issue, I
spend several months to debug connman and wpa_supplicant without any
results, then after waiting several months to pull updated Zeus again,
that problem was disappeared miraculous, that is why I suspect the
same problem in oe-core and bitbake in Honister as well.
Are there anyone in oe-core and bitbake tested connman, wpa_supplicant
for the current Honister branch? I can help to test and to debug it if
more advanced people in oe-core, bitbake, kernel, WiFi driver mwifiex
can provide me more information.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
