Have a look here,Wireless network configuration - ArchWiki
you might have to do something like
(or another relevent domain code)
then reboot
Tried that
Didn't work
[hr]
Partial success
Using the command "iw reg set GB" allows my Pi to see my WiFi network
Next problem is when I reboot the region is reset to "00" which is the world default
How do I permanently assign the region to "GB"?
[hr]
All fixed
Using nano to check the contents of the cfg80211.conf file showed that the word options was missing from the front of the line of text
I added that in nano and saved the file, rebooted and the Pi connected straight up to the WiFi and I could SSH straight into it
I'm a little surprised that this isn't a bigger problem but it has now been resolved
Thank you lrusak for your help
