Yes, i know, but there already IS a working port for the pro, that's all i said (did not say perfect).

I have problems with the wifi on a different phone, a Pro5, since I purchased it and never understood why but I always thought this phone wasn't a lucky one.
I'm on 16.04 Devel but it doesn't work regardless of the channel, and on the Vivid image as well.

The wifi is working when I reinstate the credentials every time, but it doesn't automatically show up at every reboot, as the Access Point credentials didn't exist before. I read @Flohack reporting about a MAC number problem, so I tried to investigate to see what happens on the phone at reboot.
After rebooting, I checked the var/log/syslog and I found a MAC verify failed kernel error. @Osndok, by the chance do you have the same error? Could it be related to the fact that the wifi doesn't work?

If of any interest, I provide part of the syslog HERE.

Personally, for the Nexus I'd buy some wireless chargers and scatter them around your home/work (think I paid $15 for a 3 pack).

It occurs to me that this might also help those interested in automated app testing.

By the way, not 100% this topic but related to it i have posted an idea/effort to bring the phone apps to 16.04 + Yunit so we might some day actually enjoy the work on convergence on x86 hardware. (Spoiler, it does not work so far, sorry) so head over to https://forums.ubports.com/topic/514/simulating-a-ubports-16-04-on-x86-hardware-or-vm-work-in-progress if you are interested!
