I am able to configure WiFi with Jessie on Pi Zero issuing the following instructions from the command line:-

sudo su
wpa_passphrase "SSID" "PASSWORD" >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa_cli reconfigure

This doesn't work for Buster however so I am wondering what has changed and how I can get wifi working on Buster?

Thanks!

I finally got this working.

Started from scratch with fresh install of Buster. Configured the wpa_supplicant.conf by following directions in this post - https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=274194&p=1662955#p1662955 and installed the relevant WiFi driver from here - http://downloads.fars-robotics.net/wifi-drivers/8188eu-drivers/

Thanks all for help!

The file has to have a few specific entries now. The minimal file contents I have found are:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=GB

network={
        ssid="Something here"
        psk="passwordhere"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

Can you edit your question and put your file here (redact the SSID and password) via a copy and paste as Buster is picky over quotes and characters used.

My guess - the country ID is missing...
