Upgrading to 8.2 WIFI and LAN not working on same Raspi as previous software

FlightAware

up graded to fresh install of 8.2 on new microSD card. Entered feed-id, SSID & Password three times.

Last time software sees WIFI dongle this time. Still not working. Plugged in LAN I have data.

HOWEVER, eth0 unknown. Huh??

Swapped microSD to old version WIFI works, sends data. Put new card back in, same failures. Changed to another new card same problem. New Fresh install. results above.

Been 3 days of walking away, come back, try again.

I’m not sure how to do a screenshot on a Raspi.

Based on that wifi interface name, I’d guess that there is some interface renaming happening (and the wired ethernet is no longer named eth0). That said, given that you have a connection OK, it’s probably working fine, just the status display is broken.

FWIW, it is looking at /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate (and if that is missing, it’s reported as “unknown”):

IF_OPER_UNKNOWN (0):
 Interface is in unknown state, neither driver nor userspace has set
 operational state. Interface must be considered for user data as
 setting operational state has not been implemented in every driver.
IF_OPER_NOTPRESENT (1):
 Unused in current kernel (notpresent interfaces normally disappear),
 just a numerical placeholder.
IF_OPER_DOWN (2):
 Interface is unable to transfer data on L1, f.e. ethernet is not
 plugged or interface is ADMIN down.
IF_OPER_LOWERLAYERDOWN (3):
 Interfaces stacked on an interface that is IF_OPER_DOWN show this
 state (f.e. VLAN).
IF_OPER_TESTING (4):
 Unused in current kernel.
IF_OPER_DORMANT (5):
 Interface is L1 up, but waiting for an external event, f.e. for a
 protocol to establish. (802.1X)
IF_OPER_UP (6):
 Interface is operational up and can be used.

But I don’t know why that interface renaming would happen on a vanilla 8.2 image.

What exact hardware and exact sdcard image are you using?

Raspi 2B board
canaKit WiFi
SanDisk 32GB
Fresh image from FlightAware build a pi

FYI this same this happened on a Raspi 4 board.

Strange? Luck of the Irish?

Thanks

When you try to connect with a wired ethernet do you have your config file set to:

wireless-network no

wired-network yes

5

Both at set to yes.

Been running on same Raspi with same hardware on wireless for 4 years.

Thanks

I would suggest you plug in the ethernet lan with wire-network set to yes and set the wireless to no. If you have them both set to yes they are not likely going to play nice together.

Thanks Craig

already on LAN. I needs to be back on WiFi due to location.
