    [SOLVED] [OPi Lite] Wifi cannot connect to WPA

    in Allwinner sunxi

    Posted

    Hey everyone,

     

    First off, I don't use Linux often so please bear with me if I miss out on obvious things.  I have a few Orange Pi Lite boards, and after booting up Armbian 5.14 I was excited to give the Wifi a try after only having ethernet on my Orange Pi One boards.  My OPi Lite sees my network just fine, but when I put in my credentials and go to connect to it, it fails returning "Bad Password".  For what it's worth, I've checked the password probably 25+ times, I promise it's right.  The wifi WILL connect to open networks, however.  Is there some obvious solution that I'm missing here?

     

    Any help or direction would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    Do you have any exotic characters in your password that might be a problem?

     

    As I have said in previous postings I have no problems connecting to my wifi with wpa security. But my password consists only of lowercase a-z letters and a _ sign.

     

    Nop, I don't use spanish (easy for me to include) characters like Ñ ñ is more or less plain than your password.

    Thanks @slinde I don't have time to test in nexts weeks, so don't worry about this.

     

    I found another thread http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1713-orange-pi-lite-wifi-cannot-connect-to-wpa/andmaybe it is related to the same problem with some installations.

    On my 4G router, i can only choose unsecured or WPA1 or 2.

    WPA 1 or 2 doesn't work: always get Bad Password info...

    But when i choose Unsecured then works like a charm ;/

     

    Soo same problem like yours, did you resolve problem?

     

    Yes, same problem here. Not resolved.

    But for now I didn't tested the plain text config, wpa-suplicant, suggested by  slunde.

    I don't have enough time test.

    "Wonderful", they simply exchanged the WiFi module between different PCB revisions. Do you both allow me to choose one of the images to upload it to linux-sunxi wiki?

     

    Maybe not only the WiFi module has been replaced but also pin mappings differ. Please read both through this commit log comment how to extract the original fex contents from eMMC (where an Android is living with correct settings for the new WiFi config I would suppose): https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-boards/commit/4a432501c910fddf759dd1171b15b0327b0d787a

    That means a new hardware revision is out since the older Beelink X2 are equipped with AP6181: http://linux-sunxi.org/images/1/19/X2_PCB_top.jpg(the device I have also has AP6181 but different DRAM modules compared to the wiki picture)

     

    Did you check which hardware revision you have?

    here you are the inside pictures of my Beelink X2

    I have no problems connecting to wpa2 using the following routine:

     

    First prepare a file with name wpa_supplicant.conf and the content like this (replace your own SSID and PSK):

     

    network={
      ssid="XXXXXXX"
      psk="yyyyyyyy"
      scan_ssid=1
    }
     
     
    Then issue the following commands:
     
    ifconfig wlan0 up
     
    wpa_supplicant -c wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0 &
     
    dhclient wlan0
     

     

    thanks slinde I give a try next week

    Hello manuti

    How did you manage to run wifi??

    i have the same problem, and for me that doesn't  work

    i get  wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

    I download the firmware from the link from @slinde links in ths post: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/872-beelink-x2-with-armbian-possible/page-3#entry11871

     

    And I follow the instruction in this other post http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/872-beelink-x2-with-armbian-possible/page-3#entry12339  but changing all the references to bcmhd to 8189es.

     

    The Wi-Fi is up and running but I can't connect to my WPA2 !!!

    Only WEP!!! Any idea about this issue?

     

    Thanks.

    I put the firmware file on my webserver http://www.itgubben.eu/files/

     

    Hi slinde, inside the firmware file there is no bcmdhd.bin file.

    When I do a:

    sudo modprobe bcmdhd firmware_path=/lib/firmware/ap6210/bcmdhd.bin nvram_path=/lib/firmware/ap6210/nvram.txt

    I have a message like this:

    modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'bcmdhd': No such device

    And the dmesg shows me:

    [ 1004.060351] failed to power up DHD generic adapter, 0 retry left

    Any help?

    About the Wi-Fi, when I try in ARMBIAN 5.14 jessie desktop 3.4.112-sun8i:
     

    sudo modprobe bcmdhd
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'bcmdhd': No such device

    I need to do something more?

     

    in /etc/modules I have:

    # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

#gpio_sunxi
bcmdhd
sndspdif
sunxi_sndspdif
sunxi_spdif
sunxi_spdma

    And when I do lsmod obtain:

    Module                  Size  Used by
mali_drm                2732  1
drm                   178255  2 mali_drm
mali                  123208  0
ump                    29379  3 mali
sunxi_spdma             3703  1
sunxi_spdif             7037  1
sunxi_sndspdif          3885  0
sndspdif                2743  1
8189es               1076034  0
hid_logitech_dj        10040  0

    I need to do something more to have the internal Wi-Fi working?

    Thanks in advance.
