Occasional "Not connected" errors on Raspberry Pi
=================================================

If you are using a Raspberry Pi and are seeing occasional "Not connected" errors,
also manifesting as HCI error 0x3e and BlueZ error "Software caused connection abort",
when trying to connect to a device, it may be due to wifi interference on the chip
level.

As a test the wifi interface can be disabled using either

.. code-block:: shell
sudo rfkill block wlan
or

.. code-block:: shell
sudo nmcli radio wifi off
See `this <https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/issues/16178>`_ Matter issue
with similar problems on Raspberry Pi and other devices.
