jim0020 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Just using Armbian for the first time on a Le Potato. Added a USB WiFi dongle, configured it using /etc/network/interfaces.d/<wifi device id>, and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. My problems is the DNS server doesn't seem to be set correctly: $ nslookup github.com ;; communications error to 127.0.0.1#53: connection refused But: $ nslookup -q=all github.com 8.8.8.8 unknown query type: all Server: 8.8.8.8 Address: 8.8.8.8#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: github.com Address: 140.82.112.4 How do I fix this to use the DNS provided by my router using DHCP? My /etc/network/interfaces.d/<wifi device id> file looks like this: auto wlx60fb006397a1 allow-hotplug wlx60fb006397a1 iface wlx60fb006397a1 inet dhcp pre-up sudo wpa_supplicant -B -iwlx60fb006397a1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf post-down sudo killall -q wpa_supplicant And my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file looks like this: ap_scan=1 ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant network={ ssid="<my wifi ssid>" scan_ssid=1 psk="<my wifi password>" } Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 You could go old fashion way and disable systemd-resolvd and set your dns server manually in /etc/resolv.conf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quackmore Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 or give nmcli a try https://www.baeldung.com/linux/network-manager or using nmtui you can check you connection and verify that the option 'ignore-auto-dns' is not checked https://linuxhint.com/network-configuration-debian/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim0020 Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 Here's what I ended up doing. dhclient seemed to do the trick. I did add 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to resolv.conf as a backup. pkill dhclient pkill wpa_supplicant sudo ip link set dev wlx60fb006397a1 down addr flush dev wlx60fb006397a1 ip addr flush dev wlx60fb006397a1 ip link set dev Tr8Bt7LY_BsN_w up ip link set dev wlx60fb006397a1 up wpa_supplicant -B -i wlx60fb006397a1 -Dnl80211 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf dhclient -v wlx60fb006397a1 ip route show 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
