Hummingboard Pro - Wifi will not connect

[ril3y 0]

Hey all,

 

I have been fighting this for 2 days now thought I would reach out for some help.  I have a Intel Wireless 7260 PCIe in my Hummingboard Pro board.  I can run iwlist wlan0 scanning and see my wifi access point no problem.   However when I run dhcpclient wlan0 I never can connect to my access point.

 

This is my /etc/network/interfaces file.

# Wireless adapter #1
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
	wpa-ssid "myssid"
	wpa-psk "mypassword"

auto lo
	iface lo inet loopback

I have also tried a USB wifi adapter to attempt to rule out the PCIe bus being the issue.  However neither will connect.  If anyone knows what to do from here I would be extremely grateful.  

 

Thanks!

How do you generate password? This is not a plain text!

 

Example:

your name is HOME and your password is 12345678

wpa_passphrase HOME 12345678

This is the output:

network={
        ssid="HOME"
        #psk="12345678"
        psk=58ff5ae3edf5058ad2635b2344120768d903d971cde278754d32c0c20ae2045a
}

Use the big number / code for the password and you should be fine.

 

P.S.
I am having exactly the same hardware (HB Pro + 7260) and it's performing very good. Actually it's best combination.

In the past I have not used wpa_supplicant for this just the interfaces file.  Can you tell me how your wpa_supplicant.conf file gets called?  What does your /etc/networks/interfaces file look like?

[Igor 2301]

You either have this in separate file or directly inside interfaces file.

 

If I want to connect to my router I use such config for wlan0 adapter. The code was generated with previously mentioned tool (which is actually generates wpa_supplicant conf) and it works.

auto wlan0
	iface wlan0 inet dhcp
	wpa-ssid HOME 
	wpa-psk 58ff5ae3edf5058ad2635b2344120768d903d971cde278754d32c0c20ae2045a
