Wifi Issue

Thu Oct 15, 2015 6:18 pm

Hi, I have screwed up my Rpi by installing some unsupported deb packages and had to do everything from scratch. The biggest problem is with the wifi. First time I got it to work somehow but it took a while and now I don't remember how to get it to work. I got RTL8188cus dongle.

my /etc/network/interface/ looks like this:

Code: Select all

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

 

auto eth0

allow-hotplug eth0

iface eth0 inet manual

auto wlan0

allow-hotplug wlan0

iface wlan0 inet manual

wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

iface default inet dhcp

 

auto wlan1

allow-hotplug wlan1

iface wlan1 inet manual

and wpa_supplicant.conf
 looks like this:

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev

update_config=1
network={

ssid="¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

psk="pass"

proto=RSN

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP

auth_alg=OPEN
}
when I use iwlist scan my network show up as "\xC2\xAF\_(\xE3\x83\x84)_/\xC2\xAF" I tried to use it as ssid in wpa_supplicant.conf
 but it doesn't change anything. I also tried changing the ssid of the network to plain text such as "R". I ran out of ideas here.
What do you guys think?
