Title: Problem with Wi-Fi on my own build
Post by: cfreak on January 09, 2013, 11:10:44 AM

Hi -- I am very new to Olinux and apologize if this is already posted some (please point me there). I couldn't find anything on the forum so I guess I post to ask question.

I successfully built debian image and boot up. Via UART1 terminal, I am trying to bring wlan0 up but couldn't get it to connect to my WiFi. I am following the instruction:

https://www.olimex.com/wiki/Build_Bootable_SD_Card_with_Debian

and also using script.bin from script_GPIO_LCD_800x480 folder.

Here is my interface file:

Code Select


auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        wpa-ssid MySSID
        wpa-psk PASSWORD
    #wpa-driver wext
    #wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK

Message:

No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

I used the same configuration for pre-build debian image (LCD/VGA) version is it work fine.

Thanks,
cfreak

This may sound silly, but do you have a space after your SSID/password?

Also, have you tried turning off encryption on your router, to make sure that isn't the problem?

You probably don't have WPA installed. Look here:

"Next step is to setup WPA2 wifi support. You must change your router to Encryption: NONE then connect and download the WPA2 package:"

Thanks a lot. That works perfectly.
