I'm having trouble setting up wifi on Orange Pi Zero with Debian server.

I'm using the Debian image from here: http://www.orangepi.org/download ... e7a3641224c632.html

When I run command (to scan for wifi networks):
  1. sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
Copy code
I get error:
  1. wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
Copy code

ifconfig gives me:

When i try do:
  1. sudo nmtui
Copy code

It shows no connections under edit/activate, am I missing something?

In Armbian the same command (sudo iwlist wlan0 scan) just works out of the box.

I'm assuming Debian is not fully working properly on Orange Pi Zero?
