Using wireless with domoticz?

[Silversonic]

Does the domoticz distribution prevent use of a wifi adapter? I've been trying and researching and I've been unable to get wireless to work.

My most recent method was to follow this guide: http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentatio ... ess-cli.md, this is what I do;

Code: Select all

pi@domoticzpi ~ $ sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Then adding the essid and WEP password;

Code: Select all

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

network={
        ssid="IpodWireless"
        psk="10digitpasswordhere"
}

But if I reboot the wifi;

Code: Select all

pi@domoticzpi ~ $ sudo ifdown wlan0
pi@domoticzpi ~ $ sudo ifup wlan0
ioctl[SIOCSIWAP]: Operation not permitted
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument

and also;

Code: Select all

pi@domoticzpi ~ $ iwconfig
wlan0     unassociated  Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency=2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
          Sensitivity:0/0
          Retry:off   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

It won't connect. By some other methods I've managed to get Access Point to change to IpodWireless but even then I'm not being assigned an IP and I can't connect to the internet. What is my issue?

Can you also post your /etc/network/interfaces?

Why are you still using WEP it was cracked many years ago and takes about five minutes to open your network?

If you can convert to WPA or WPA2 you will gain some security.

If you insist on using WEP remove the psk line and replace it with a WEP_KEY0 line.

I understand WEP sucks, but for the moment I have to make use of it. Thanks for the reply but that didn't seem to work either. Actually "iwlist scan" produces "wlan0: No scan results". (I don't believe there is an issue with the wireless router itself, as my iPhone can connect normally).

Aditionally connecting via wifi with raspian and xbmc distributions is fine, so there doesn't appear to be an issue with my adapter.

I have also done adapter firmware updates for this domoticz distribution, it was already fully updated.
