      Hey, im quite new here and hope I didnt forget anything.

      Problem occurs on my Raspberry Pi Model3 b.
      Software is premade SD-Img on Version 4.2
      With standard Bluetooth and Wifi enabled, Only a Keyboard connected.
      SSH connection activated via Raspi-Config.

      I followed the Guide on https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Wiimote-Controller/ to pair my Wii(original)-remote with the standard bluetooth module. Works without any issues. But since I added the start of the following script in "/etc/profile.d/10-retropie.sh":

      #!/bin/bash
      sleep 1 # Wait until Bluetooth services are fully initialized
      hcitool dev | grep hci >/dev/null
      if test $? -eq 0 ; then
          wminput -d -c  /home/pi/mywminput 00:19:1D:92:90:38 &
      else
          echo "Blue-tooth adapter not present!"
          exit 1
      fi
      

      my Wifi shows an empty list instead of possible SSIDs. Furthermore as soon as I connect my Wiimote my Wifi functions as expected. Im not quite sure if this relies on the other issue i have which is discribed in the same guide @KnownIssues #1, meaning that my SSH connection is flooded with socketerrors. (I did that rework there too, to outsource the errormessage to /dev/null/)

      Edit: I'm not quite sure if this is the actual problem. Now (first time after 100restarts), my wifi works, and SSH refuses to establish. I'm confused :(

      Thanks for help already!

        @midstar I found the problem myself. Connecting Wifi via manual configuration in sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces seems to fix the problem yet.

          This seems to be my exact problem. My WiFi is down until I pair (press a + b) my wiimote. As soon as the pairing is complete WiFi connects. I manually configured WiFi setting right out of the gate in /etc/network/interfaces. I then tried setting a static IP in /etc/dhcpcd.conf. Still problem persists.

          Any thought on how to resolve this?
