But no wifi list on menu KODI.

I was try this manual over console and got this:

Code

LibreELEC:/ # connmanctl
connmanctl>
connmanctl> Agent registered             <=response to the command "agent on"

connmanctl>

connmanctl> Error /net/connman/technology/wifi: Method "Scan" with signature "" on interface "net.connman.Technology" doesn't exist


connmanctl>                              <=empty response to the command "services"

connmanctl>

If the Wifi module works correctly, why is AP's not in the list of available networks?

Thank you.
