Issue: We have an ESP32 node using the RadioLib library, which works fine with a WS1310 Gateway, but fails to connect when using a RAK7244 Gateway.
Setup: * Node: ESP32 + SX1262 LoRa module
- Library: RadioLib
Server:Chirpstack
Details: We have interfaced the SX1262 with the ESP32 using SPI and communicated with the ChirpStack server successfully via WS1310. However, the same node does not connect when using the RAK7244 Gateway. The error we receive is:
Setup ...
Initialise the radio
Join ('login') the LoRaWAN Network
Join failed - RADIOLIB_ERR_NO_JOIN_ACCEPT (-1116)
We also tried updating the global_config.json file for RAK7244, but it did not resolve the issue.

Observation:
- Node joins fine with WS1310, but fails with RAK7244.
RADIOLIB_ERR_NO_JOIN_ACCEPT (-1116)occurs even after updatingglobal_config.json.
Request:
We are not sure why the ESP32 + SX1262 node is failing to join via RAK7244. Could someone please help us identify what might be wrong?
