I have three wifi devices with the same chipset. Unfortunately brcmfmac (build-in RPI 3 wifi) does not work either. It would be nice to have some idea what kind of wifi keys work, because most I can find seem to be realtek ones.

If it works in a current Raspbian image, it should work in motionEyeOS. I have a bunch of different ones rtl8192cu Edimax rtl8712u Asus N10 BCM20702A0 Plugable (BT & WiFi) rtl8192cu Xerox Wireles N rt2x00 RALink Long range rtl8192cu LB Link long range All work with both Raspbian and motionEyeOS. Does your OTG cable or hub work with other devices?

Got my r8188eu working by ssh'ing in when connected via cable and doing the following:

iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed iwconfig wlan0 essid myssid service wifi restart dhclient wlan0

Now the wifi even connects fine after a reboot. Maybe there is something that needs to be added to the setup or init scripts?

Spoke too soon, now it fails again....

Problem solved: SSIDs are case-sensitive after all :-)

starbasessd commented 4 years ago

Yep. You can sometimes get away with it in Windows, but not in Linux or MacOS... If you set up your wpa_supplicant.conf file ahead of time, and copy to the /boot partition when imaging, you shouldn't have any issues.
