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.
