My Wifi adapter acting unstable during different boot times.

Wed Feb 26, 2014 2:13 pm

Sometimes when it booted up it functioned successfully and acquired IP address
but sometimes it cannot acquire the IP address from the network.
My network is up all the time. I don't why this is happening.

Is there a script I can put in so that it can 100% guarantee wifi adapter can acquire IP address each time the Pi booted?

I have two suggestions:
1 - Uninstall ifplugd. I was confused when sometime I could acquire an IP, sometime I just can't, until I purge this thing.
2 - If you plug wifi adapter in pi's USB directly , check your power supplier.

When you want to install something:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install [something's name]
When you want to uninstall something:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove [something's name]
And your error message sounds from perl, are you using a perl script to rename things? You could use the mv command~ ;)
