Beaglebone Green Wifi connection #63

Open kriedel opened 7 years ago

kriedel commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I cannot connect to wifi network, with connman a connection is not possible: connmanctl technologies /net/connman/technology/wifi Name = WiFi Type = wifi Powered = True Connected = False Tethering = False

connmanctl scan wifi Error /net/connman/technology/wifi: No carrier

connmanctl services *AO Wired ethernet_10bf482ff3d3_cable

dmesg delivers: [ 62.902610] usb 1-1: Product: 802.11n WLAN Adapter [ 62.902640] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Realtek [ 62.902669] usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 00e04c000001 [ 64.271023] rtl8192cu: Chip version 0x10 [ 64.357525] rtl8192cu: MAC address: 64:70:02:29:fa:62 [ 64.357564] rtl8192cu: Board Type 0 [ 64.357671] rtl_usb: rx_max_size 15360, rx_urb_num 8, in_ep 1 [ 64.357864] rtl8192cu: Loading firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw_TMSC.bin [ 64.459963] ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'rtl_rc' [ 64.470814] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8192cu [ 64.991984] rtl8192cu: MAC auto ON okay!

If I remove connman and use manual entries in /etc/network/interfaces a connection is possible but only to eth0 or wlan0. With both interfaces (auto eth0 and auto wlan0) I get a long boot time If I connect only one interface.

What's the right way to set up wifi, is it a wrong wifi adapter?

Regards, Kai

@kriedel that's why we use connman vs /etc/network/interfaces...

OK, but what is the problem with connman and wifi?

RobertCNelson commented 7 years ago

it should work, what version of ubuntu or debian was this netinstall?

kriedel commented 7 years ago

ubuntu 16.04.2 (ubuntu-16.04.2-console-armhf-2017-04-07.tar.xz)

RobertCNelson commented 7 years ago

Yeah i see it too, i'm firing up a build of xenial with connman disabled.

I don't test ubuntu very often, so i should leave xenial with the network defaults..

I try to use the new build based on the master branch, but the install script RootStock-NG.sh halt after the following output:

Log: (chroot) Warning, qemu can fail here... (run on real armv7l hardware for production images)

@kriedel that's a known issue, hence the warning:

It's OK now with the new build, but the source list seems now to be lost:

sudo apt-get update 0% [Connecting to ports.ubuntu.com (172.1.8.1)] [Connecting to repos.rcn-ee.com ... Err:3 http://repos.rcn-ee.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease Could not connect to repos.rcn-ee.com:80 (172.1.8.1), connection timed out

In which file I have to correct the source list?

Regards, Kai

RobertCNelson commented 7 years ago

ping of http://repos.rcn-ee.com/ubuntu is OK...
