Wifi configuration

Post by nordstrandqueen »

Hi,

in the setup guide for MiniX is written:
MiniX WLAN tries to connect to an access point with SSID "meteohub", talking WPA2 using PSK password "meteohub".
But obviously "meteohub" is not a valid passphrase for WPA2.
When I configure my wifi router's settings to WPA2 + PSK and set the passwort to "meteohub", I can't establish any wifi connections to the router any more.
I've tried that with 2 different routers and different devices now (Mac, PC, Smartphone...).

Where can I change the passphrase used by meteohub in the filesystem on the MicroSD card?

thx Stef

The settings for wifi are found in /etc/network/interfaces

Something like everything between the '-----------------------------' without '--------------------------------' :)
Change The Here-your-essid and Here-your-key for your own values !


------------------------------------------------------------
auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet manual
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid Here-your-essid
wpa-psk Here-your-key
auto wlan0

#wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've tried to change the settings there...

I copied the meteohub image on Debian with dd to the SD card and changed /etc/network/interfaces afterwards (directly made changes on the card from Debian PC).
Then I booted my MiniX from the SD card, but it didn't show up on my WiFi router. (As the HDMI output to my TV doesn't work, I can't see what's going on.)
After that I put the SD card into the Card Reader again and had a look on it with my Debian PC - and the whole /etc directory was gone!
