      Looks like your issue is the WiFi adapter is not detected/supported out-of-the-box, it may need a driver to be installed in order to show be detected.

      Any reason you're using a WiFi dongle instead of the built-in WiFi ?

        @mitu Because with the default option I ve tried to set the country to enable the Wi-Fi on board in RetroPie and it gaves me “ no interface found”.

        So I tried to avoid the problem using a dongle Wi-Fi and in Lsusb it show up but I think it need driver.

        However the problem is still there even if I edit the spa supplicant config

        I add one thing : I checked if network. Service is working and it does

        Today I will try to install RetroPie image on another Sd card and Raspbian Os in another Sd card to check if the problem is on the sd cards or image corruption

          If the LAN cable is plugged in, the WiFi is not started on RaspiOS. Is your Pi connected to the LAN cable when you start the WiFi configuration ?

                    Bluetooth is a bit different and most likely the adapter on the dongle is supported by RaspiOS out-of-the-box. It's strange that rfkill doesn't show any adapters present, it should print something like:

                    pi@retropie:~ $ sudo rfkill list all
                    0: phy0: Wireless LAN
                    	Soft blocked: no
                    	Hard blocked: no
                    

                    If the WiFi is blocked by the country selection, it would print:

                    pi@retropie:~ $ sudo rfkill list all
                    0: phy0: Wireless LAN
                    	Soft blocked: yes
                    	Hard blocked: no
                    

                    Did you modify the boot loader configuration (the config.txt file on the boot partition from the SD card) ? Can you post the contents of config.txt here ?

                      I ve tried with another Sd card with a fresh image of rasp os raccomanded writed with raspberry image maker for rpi3 .
                      Countyset in settings disabled
                      Default config.txt
                      If config —-> no Wlan0
                      Rfkill list all —-> No wireless adapter showed
                      Lsusb—-> it’s showed the network wifi adapter

                      So I suppose it’s not the Sd card or the Image
                      With both Raspbian and RetroPie there aren’t network interfaces integrated of rp3 On
                      The Wi-Fi dongle shows up only in Lsusb not in rfkill
                      The rfkill command isn’t showing soft blocked or hardblocked interfaces on RetroPie and rasp os

                      Hardware issue ?
