Latest master wifi connection broken (hotspot fine) #691

Closed jlmitch5 closed 5 years ago

jlmitch5 commented 5 years ago

With the included dongle, I have not had good luck since updating a couple weeks ago connecting to my home wifi network. Using norns as a hotspot seems to work fine.

The screen says initiallising wifi... and then eventually status: password fail. the characters in the password are t*e1N98

The "chosen" network in the bottom does not match the network I had scrolled to for connecting to.

dev branch has totally revamped wifi system using network manager. also @ranch-verdin i think has some fixes for the existing wpa_supplicant system on a branch; maybe these should be pulled in to master

I fixed a bug which said 'status failed' when router refuses pings. This has already been pulled into master.

However there was regression in the layers beneath wpa_cli some time since the image we were using early 2018 - can only connect once to my home WiFi per reboot. My workaround is to use a different WiFi usb, which works ok (good connection) but not perfect (still some menu glitch, no hotspot). still haven't moved over to dev myself, waiting for the release.

word, thank y'all for the info. I am personally fine waiting for dev to land, and I can report back on this issue if I still notice it. We can close or keep it open, either works for me

i'm going to close it as 2.0 will use a totally different system (networkmanager)
