I just reflashed a new raspbian jessie lite image.
Simple tried to configure the wpa_supplicant file with my network details and rebooted.
Even then wifi does not connect?
I checked a command
sudo wpa_supplicant -Dn180211 -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
It simply says the said driver is not supported
I also tried
sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
This one said
Association request to the driver failed and a bunch of other messages trying to do something
SOME BACK STORY
I was following this guide[http://andrewnicolaou.co.uk/posts/2015/ ... out-docker] to setup a wifi interconnect. So before that I had similar issues with wifi not connecting but when I ran the
sudo wpa_supplicant -Dn180211 -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
command, it prompted there was some syntax error in the file. i readily corrected them and then wifi was working.
That blog has a command sudo ./provision iptables node wifi-connect.
It did something to the iptables but couldn't afterwards download node or wifi-connect.
It was after this all trouble started, I suspect. Because, after that point doing ifconfig wlan0 prompted wlan0 does not exist.
So I decided to reflash the SD card but the problem has persisted.
