psygnosis 0 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 HI, sorry if I bother the community so much. Is there a way (I'm sure that is) to setup armbian without DE and without eth connection? I've noticed that I need wired connection to launch armbian-config. Can I do the same with a wifi USB stick? How? If I want to use armbian as wireless AP, do I need to install the DE? Can you guide me? Thank you in advance 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I achieve to connect to a wifi hotspot with armbian-config but i need to configure it as AP for an router that as PEAP WPA2 security. For what I've tested this security is not supported out of the box for Linux... Thank you in advance for your patience 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ8 1 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I have another issue. I can setup WiFi using nmtui. But it requires connect using ethernet or TTL. If I just set wpa_supplicant.conf, WiFi not works. Do we have any tutorial for Armbian how to setup wifi by editing config on sd card? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the work on Armbian's side is to provide a working kernel where Debian or Ubuntu is set up on top. The OS itself contains minimal adjustments only. Therefore tutorials outthere that are ment to be used on your causal PC should work for Armbian as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However when I enter the above I get the error Unknown parameter <SSID>. I passed <SSID> as ARMBIAN_WiFi. Any ideas on why this is the case?
