No network interface to work with on nrf9160

Hello,

I followed the getting started guide but the kit can't connect. I'm getting this error:

net_if.net_if_init: There is no network interface to work with!

Is this a known bug, how can i fix it? Or is there a hardware issue?

Kind regards,

Daan Pape

  • after flashing at_client, and sending AT+CFUN=1 and AT%XSIM?

    have the modem active in network search, but still no connect.

    My understanding, in the "asset_tracker" there should be a at_cmd(... AT%XSIM?..), right?

  • I am just noting that the out of the box experience with the asset tracker was good for me in USA on VZ. I followed instructions and ran into only one problem: I had to register a new account to activate the sim card. 

    I did have problems after loading the at-command example application. I resolved my issues by finally pushing the reset button on the dev kit; note that power cycling or plugging and unplugging usb from my computer, etc did not work, only pushing the reset button worked. I found that even after it was working, when I later updated the modem firmware according to the instructions it wouldn't register on the network. Again, the solution was to push the reset button. Perhaps some folks can try that if everything else is failing.

  • Hello,

    I have tried to push the reset button. I can than see the board rebooting but this doesn't resolve the reception issues. 

    Kind regards,

    Daan
