Boot wifi file still not working?

I have been trying to talk a new user through the rAudio install process, but it did not go well. The wifi file in /boot, did not work, and it took a couple of reboots before wifi setup via a wired connection worked. Dictating command line instructions over the phone is frustrating for both parties.
Another problem I would have liked some warning about is that I cannot copy my webradio folder into the latest download. It used to be possible to delete the new download's webradio folder and replace it with mine, which saved a lot of time, but it looks as if file permissions or ownership prevent this now.
I would still like to see a stable, bug fix only, version of rAudio. At the moment it is definitely for geeks only, which is a shame.

I have just got a new RPi Zero 2 and downloaded the latest 64bit release image (i20250208) and flashed it to a new SD card and added my trusty 'SSH' and 'wifi' files which I have used for a long time to the boot partition. Booting from the SD card seems to work OK except the wifi connection to my home network was not made. The only wifi connection available seems to be the raudio AP (on 192.168.1.5) which I can only connect to intermittently. I have used the 'wifi' file method for a long time and never had a fail until now. The 'wifi' file seems to be being processed as, after boot process completes, it it no longer available in the boot partition (just the default 'wifi0' file) so it would seem raudio is trying to process it but not succeeding ?

ip a only shows the AP IP number (192.168.5.1), no other connections are shown.

I have also tried the i20241206 image with the same result. The Zero 2 does not have a wired connection available so I cannot try this route either.

The new image 20250309 and update 202503091 seem to fix the problem of connecting to my home network.

Many thanks for the quick response.

Not tested it myself, but will close as fixed.
