Re: CAPsMAN(WIFI) not provisioning after manual provisioning

I will repeat:
Reset to caps mode.

A capsman controlled device normally has no firewall.
You still have wifi settings configured locally on that device. It will overwrite whatever you are trying to provision.
Etc etc.

Caps mode. Really.

Local radios can not be controlled by capsman.

You need to configure those locally but they will participate in things like roaming etc since they are on the same ROS instance as your controller.

But why would you use capsman for only 1 device ?
