Headless wpa_supplicant.conf configuration stopped working

[eximius313]

With the newest Imager (1.7.4) when I tick "Configure wireless LAN" checkbox and just run the card - the wifi is configured properly and wlan0 interface is present in ifconfig.
But when I copy my wpa_supplicant.conf file (which contains additional networks) to the root folder for SD card (like I always did for headless configuration with older version of Imager) - the file is indeed copied into /etc/wpa_supplicant/ but wifi is not connected and wlan0 is not present in the ifconfig.
It is the same file and the same routine I always did with previous versions of Imager.
What is surprisingL when I then run raspi-config and add any dummy network Foo with password 12345678 - it is added to my file, wlan0 is up and wifi is connected to my real network.

Could you please fix that?

Are you saying the behaviour was different with 1.7.3 and upgrading to 1.7.4 is what breaks it, or just that you're seeing the problem with 1.7.4? It could be a raspberrypi-sys-mods or raspberrypi-net-mods issue rather than rpi-imager.

I'm saying that the problem is after upgrading to 1.7.4 but I don't remember what previous version I had (could be from 6 months ago)

And you are selecting the same RPI OS .img file you downloaded previously manually with "use custom" ?
Or did you install the latest RPI OS version today, which is likely a different RPI OS version than 6 months ago?

If so, it doesn't sound like an Imager issue to me...

[eximius313]

It was the latter ;(
Ok, how can I pinpoint the issue?
Shall I download old Imager and use newest image?
Or try to find old image and use it with newest Imager?

[eximius313]

Ok, I've installed newest Imager (v1.7.5) and verified, that image from 2022-04-07 works, but later images - for example 2022-09-07 do not.

Where shall I raise the issue?
