provision all brings down wlan0 #14

sudo ./provision iptables node wifi-connect After running this, it did something to the iptables but couldn't download node or wifi-connect.

Problem was after this my Pi3 does not connect to wifi anymore. After that point doing ifconfig wlan0 prompted wlan0 does not exist. So I decided to reflash the SD card but the problem has persisted.

Before the iptables thing, when running sudo wpa_supplicant -Dn180211 -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf earlier it showed something about the driver.

But after that iptables thing, running that command simply said the driver was unsupported and this persisted even after reflashing the SD card.

Can you help me out, please?

Sorry, I've not come across this and don't see how it can persist after reflashing unless it's the command you're using (where did you get the command sudo wpa_supplicant -Dn180211 -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf from? Looks like nl80211 is the driver name - you seem to have n180211 (i.e. a 1 instead of an l for the second character of the driver name).

Hey Somehow it works now. I correctly dont know what the issue is, but an additional change I made to the wpa_supplicant.conf file was adding key_mgmt=WPA-PSK. I never had to do it before and neither I had to add this in another SD card I have of a different project. But yeah, it worked.

One more note, when I tired to configure this manually as guided from that blog,

mkdir -pv /opt/node && \
  $(curl -L https://nodejs.org/dist/v5.10.0/node-v5.10.0-linux-armv6l.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components 1 -C /opt/node) && \
  ln -sf /opt/node/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node && \
  ln -sf /opt/node/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm && \
  /opt/node/bin/npm config set prefix /usr/local

This step does not work. It outputs that the gzip: stdin is not in gzip format

And, if I would simply do sudo ./provision node, that one outputs no config step for node

But the setup works for sudo ./provision iptables node wifi-connect

That's because provisioning is a two step process. Each thing that is installed potentially has two steps, install and config. In the case of node, it only has an install step. So, it probably did install node but this message is a bit confusing.
