Hello,

I've bought the Dev Kit and I've followed the user
guide
to set it
up. However, when I reached the "Connect Raspberry Pi via WiFi
Network
"
and I added the wpa_supplicant.conf to the boot partition.

Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi didn't come up after that. After sme troubles
I found the reason connecting to it using the ethernet interface. Upon
connecting the OS wrote to the terminal:

Wi-Fi is disabled because the country is not set.
Use raspi-config to set the country before use.

I did try to use the raspi-config to fix the situation but it didn't
work: it complained that wpa_supplicant was disabled.

After searching for the problem I found I could add a country
parameter to the wpa_supplicant.conf file, like this:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=<your_country_two_letters_id>
​
network={
    ssid="<your_ssid>"
    psk="<your_password>"
}

And that made it work
