Hi guys, I’m on the BBB with the Edimax wifi dongle but I can’t get wifi to work. Not sure if these log messages indicate some problem (authenticating and de-authenticating multiple times?) or not. Does anyone know?
I had this same Wifi dongle and Volumio working at my old apartment, but now it’s a new apartment and I started from scratch. Configuring the wifi took a lot of tries last time… I don’t know what held it up but eventually it just ‘decided’ to work. I’m not having that luck this time. The SSID of the new router has spaces this time, but the web interface doesn’t surround the SSID with quotation marks so I have to edit it. (And the passphrase includes a #.)
My /etc/network/interfaces file contains:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-power off
wpa-ssid “ssid”
wpa-psk “password”
Doing ‘ifup wlan0’ shows this in the log:
