169.254.x.x is a "link local" address. dhcpcd falls back to such an

wpa_supplicant cannot connect to the network.
wpa_state=GROUP_HANDSHAKE

change to COMPLETED.
I have two RPi 4b's. One with NetBSD 10 on an SD card and the other with
RPi OS on a USB flash drive. (I can not get NetBSD to boot from a flash
drive)
As far as I can tell the network configurations are the same for WIFI on
both. I see comments on the web about NetBSD 10 problems with the bwfm
device.
I need WIFI. So, I go back to RPi OS.
Thanks for all the replies.

Definitely check the cabling. I don't have an example handy of what it looks like when a device is connected, but powered off. But so far it looks like the port thinks that no cable + device is connected. This may still be a software problem. It could also be that the device is connected but not powered properly. For that it usually has a separate cable, with a connector similar to the SATA cable, but a different width. Sometimes the two connectors may be combined in one big one, I suppose, but in that case I expect to cables connected to such a connector, because one goes to the motherboard and the other to the power supply On my NUC, there is a connector between the SATA connector and the SATA power connector.

That should be a SATA 2.5" SSD (the alternative called M.2 module is a lot smaller, typical would be a 2280 variant which is 22mm x 80mm, or 0.87" x 3.15"). So it should have shown up as wd0 on your sata controller (but no drives appeared in your dmesg). Strange. Martin Maybe silly, but, ... Is the SATA cable connection inserted firm on both ends? Does the SATA cable have 1 or 2 connectors on the computer end? My NUC has a SATA power connector and a SATA connector. "SATA power connector (1.25 mm pitch)" and "SATA 6.0 Gb/s connector" Tom Dean
