Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spr-networks/super/issues/286

When I updated v0.3.5, the spr stopped working, so I proceeded with the full reset. (Both wired and wireless went wrong)

After that, I kept seeing wifid-related error messages on the admin screen, so when I checked the container log, there was a message as below.

maybe the 'iw' package is missing?

quick remedy:

docker compose exec -it wifid bash
apt update && apt install -y iw

then goto admin wifi menu -> "restart all wifi devices"

Thanks for finding this. It should not affect normal operation. This needs to be added for pis going through the initial setup though because the setup Ap will be left in AP mode. Will get this in for the next release
