What does ifconfig -a
return?
I feel really stupid now... in my defense, in all the years I've been using normie desktop Linux, I've never had a working interface be not up.
So I guess it's not a bug but a feature. Any pointers on how to configure it to come up at boot and connect to WiFi is appreciated. Plan is to use networkmanager
for automatically reconnecting.
That is fine. If you install and run a network manager (like NetworkManager or conman) the interfaces will be brought up automatically.
Thanks a lot. As you can see in my image recipe, I did install NetworkManager, but maybe it's not started by default. I also think that a normal Raspbian light comes with only wpa-supplicant, and that also brings up the interfaces somehow. I'll do some more digging.
That is as well true. But you need to start the services as well. I'm not sure how you configured the packages / image.
Description
Other issues related to WiFi issues seem to be due to
linux-firmware-brcm43430
not being installed. This is not the case here, as it came included without further action.The image boots fine, and from dmesg it seems the firmware is uploaded to the wifi chip, yet no
wlan0
interface is present.Steps to reproduce the issue:
MACHINE
toraspberrypi3
bitbake
and boot the generated imageifconfig
: nowlan0
I tried adding these lines as mentioned on #31, but without any change
Describe the results you received:
The following is printed in dmesg. Nothing else that seems remotely related to WiFi
I decided to try a USB WiFi dongle, the one we'll most likely also be using in production (due to external antenna), and that one does not work either.
Describe the results you expected:
I expect to see a
wlan0
interface, because the driver seems to load fine andwpa-supplicant
is also installed.Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):
