i try sudo nmtui but code not run

 

As already said you're using a very old image so it might be necessary to take a few extra steps:

sudo -s
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install network-manager
cp -p /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.bak
echo '# really nothing' >/etc/network/interfaces
reboot

After the reboot 'sudo nmtui' should just work (don't use wicd then any more). If not I can only recommend to start over with a freshly Armbian 5.25 image.

 

For anyone else reading this or stumbling accross this via search engines: in case you're running a headless image the 4th line above can also read 'apt-get --no-install-recommends install network-manager' instead!

WiFi password must be between 8 and 32 characters. "True" has only 4 characters, your router should have refused that.

 

[pelitt]

No no i say that: my password is correct. Correct = True

I'm having problems with latest Nightly image "Armbian_5.27.170329_Orangepilite_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.10.3." 

I can login using USB to Ethernet dongle, config Wi-Fi with nmtui and select Auto connect, in this moment I can release the dongle and connect by Wi-Fi without issues but if I reboot the OPiLite the internal Wi-Fi never comes up.

Any solution or workaround to solve my problem?

Thanks

In this topic 

The MAC address change after reboot. Need write a permanent MAC address.

sudo nano /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf
before 8189 clear the #
Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X

 

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/8189fs.conf
options 8189fs rtw_initmac=00:e0:4c:f5:16:d6
Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X
 

It works for me.
