You need to provide settings and error messages.
Have you checked the log files (/var/log/messages /var/log/piaware.log )
Otherwise we are just guessing

Make sure your router SSID and the SSID you put in the config file are the same.

This is case-sensitive. If one is WiFi, then you can’t use “wifi”. It must be “WiFi”

Also, make sure you are using WPA2.

Do not use WEP.

hi
i can ask a question. how can i connect my piaware from internet outside

I found my file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf was built with several parameters and included a syntax error which kept the interface from coming up. I pared it to the minimum of ssid & psk and it worked.
It takes root privilege to read or write it.


country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
        ssid="<your network, case sensitive>"
        psk="<your key>"
        }

Hope this is helpful

Was this a config file generated by the 3.0.x piaware sdcard image? If so what was the syntax error? It shouldn’t be introducing syntax errors…

I was building it off Jessie, scripts from the ADSB Receiver Project, and a fewer other things to muddy the waters.
Not your problem. Thanks for checking.

[EDIT] I just went through the process I posted and it doesn’t work :open_mouth: . I must have been working from a different image when I made my notes.

Sorry, I’ve deleted the code[/Edit]

I had the same issue with my copy. I discovered that by default the wifi is turned off, but I managed to get it turned on and working well.

There are several things I did to get it working, one was to configure wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces by adding the following lines
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Next, I edited the file /etc/rc.local and added three lines above the “exit” line, which were:
cd /etc/network
cat interfaces.d/wlan >> interfaces
ifup wlan0

Lastly, I went into /etc/wpa_supplicant and created the wpa_supplicant.conf file, adding in the following three lines:
country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

You may have to change the country code, if you aren’t in the US.

Now you are set to add in your network info by doing the following:
edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file by running wpa_passphrase (your ssid) >> wpa_supplicant.conf [Enter]
(your matching password) [Enter]
Now edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file and between the ssid line and psk line add the following 5 lines:
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN
pairwise= CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP

When you’re done, your wpa_supplicant.conf file should look something like this:
country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

reading passphrase from stdin

network={
ssid=“your_ssid”
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
#psk=“XXXXXXXX”
psk=dd033e0860063d611b39e0f602e1c6d64ca95c9354c90e0ce0f85aea468104bc
}

Now, to bring the wifi online, type ifup wlan0 [Enter], and you should be good to go
