wifi scripts (basic) #8

Closed ranch-verdin closed 6 years ago

ranch-verdin commented 6 years ago

As per https://github.com/tehn/norns-image/issues/6 here are some very simple wifi-scripts... hotspot is not done yet but I tested these now both on my laptop & on the norns.

These wifi scripts are intended to work entirely independently the the usual systemd song & dance. So for now you'll need to explicitly switch off systemd networking before using these scripts:

sudo systemctl stop networking.service
sudo killall wpa_supplicant

added my config to boot into 'hotspot mode'.

See README-WIFI.md for hotspot install steps

shall i pull this in? i can test everything and get it integrated if it's ready.

ranch-verdin commented 6 years ago

think it's ready. only slightly controversial thing is I changed over the default networking to hotspot (instructions updated in image.txt).

This works better, I think, because in the 2 home wifi networks I tested on, connection norns->router was always flaky depending what room of the house, weather etc. hotspot seems much more solid.

excellent, i'll get testing!
