"configure_edison --wifi" doesn't work

alext-mkrs commented 6 years ago

From #2 (courtesy of @htot):

Still configure_edison --wifi doesn't work. The reason is wpa_cli scan returns: Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: (nil) error: No such file or directory

This interface also may need replacement (quick googled).

connmanctl scan wifi && connmanctl services works, but does not show the bssid / frequency /signal level / encryption flags / ssid wpi_cli does. We can retrieve them with connmanctl service --properties <service>. Or we could use iw, I found this one liner: iw dev wlan0 scan | egrep "signal|SSID" | sed -e "s/\tsignal: //" -e "s/\tSSID: //" | awk '{ORS = (NR % 2 == 0)? "\n" : " "; print}' | sort which outputs:

-58.00 dBm TP-LINK_941F4A
-68.00 dBm Oranje Plantage 35 2.4G
-74.00 dBm 
-79.00 dBm Oranje Plantage 35 5G
-80.00 dBm ANNE
-85.00 dBm H369A6D5E05
-88.00 dBm Ziggo

Not too bad. What do you think?

We've agreed I'll take a look into this and this issue is to track the task.

I have fixed this in my patches which will be merged soon. So stay tuned...

mwallnoefer commented 4 years ago

This should be closed I think.

No, sorry I haven't made much progress. Family matters consumed a bit of time. I will continue to work on your patches after summer and after finishing the btrfs stuff. In the mean time, let's keep this as a reminder...

@alext-mkrs Okay in the meantime my patches have been merged so please re-test!

mwallnoefer commented 3 years ago

I guess that we may definitely close this now, the cli has been working since last spring.
