Unable To Connect to WiFi on RPi3

Sat Jan 07, 2017 5:15 pm

I installed ALARM Arch 32-bit which by default installed wpa_supplicant and iw.
I can see my device is listed / recognized when I do:

Code: Select all

[root@rpi1 ~]# ip link | grep wlan0
3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
I attempt to bring it up (however it appears to never go UP):

Code: Select all

[root@rpi1 ~]# ip link set dev wlan0 up
[root@rpi1 ~]# ip link | grep wlan0
3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
When I scan for SSID's using the wlan0 adapter, I can see plenty of hot spots:

Code: Select all

[root@rpi1 ~]# iw dev wlan0 scan | grep SSID
	SSID: BHNTG1682GF492
	SSID: BHNTG1682G0862
	SSID: BHNTG1682G0C84
	SSID: \x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00
	SSID: DIRECT-C8-HP OfficeJet 3830
	SSID: BHN  1008
	SSID: NETGEAR84
	SSID: BHNTG1682GC692
	SSID: TITO2
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in attempting to bring this interface 'UP' and connected to my Wi-Fi (WPA2 encrypted LAN). Can you guys let me know what I'm doing wrong or missing?

Rather than negativity think outside the box !
RPi 4B 4GB (SSD Boot)..
Asus ChromeBox 3 Celeron is my other computer...

Return to “Arch”
