Issue with using nRF7002 DK with Matter "Light Bulb Matter" example

Hello,

I am working with the nRF7002 DK board and attempting to use the "Light Bulb Matter" example from Zephyr. I am encountering issues when trying to connect the board to Wi-Fi using my Google Pixel 8a smartphone and the Home Assistant app. Although I encounter non-blocking errors, the initial connection seems to work.

First, I provision the Wi-Fi via BLE to the board, and everything appears to be functioning correctly except for one error on the COM port:

Here is the error I encounter:

  • IPV6_PKTINFO failed: 109

Despite this error, the nRF7002 DK successfully connects to the Wi-Fi. After that, Home Assistant on my smartphone allows me to connect the "Matter device," which I do. However, the system only works for about thirty seconds before the device is marked as "unavailable" in the Home Assistant app. I am unable to turn the lamp on or off. Home Assistant tries to communicate with the board but encounters repeated errors.

My Home Assistant server is running on a Linux virtual machine.

Could you clarify the correct procedure for using the "Light Bulb Matter" example with the nRF7002 DK board and Home Assistant, please?

Thank you very much for your help!
