Rpi Zero W interface not found when edit wpa_supplicant.conf

Sat Sep 30, 2017 1:39 am

When I burn the image on the SD and do nothing, I can see the wifi list in the raspbian desktop widget. When I burn the image and edit just the file wpa_supplicant erasing its content and adding:

network={
ssid="MySSID"
psk=my_psk
}

then I get "no interfaces found" when I click on the widget. What is the problem? I did exactly as mentioned in https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... ess-cli.md

I think the newer release Rapbian Streatch requires more information.

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=US

network={
        ssid="Your SSID"
        psk="Your PSK"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
Change the country code to match or set country using GUI config tool.
Unless specified otherwise my response is based on the latest and fully updated RPiOS Buster w/ Desktop OS.
