thank you very much Michelangelo for your new relase!
it worked out the box at first shot, just wrote on the SD, plugged eth, edited the interfaces and the wpa_supplicant files and it worked on wifi-only in 5 minutes.
the system seems snappier, in the last days I had no problems and no need to restart mpd.
I really hope to see a simple fallback webgui one day, it will be great to use volumio from my wii! (why no one wrote a decent mpd client for this great system? 
the only “working” one shows the track name and let you skip the track, nothing more… )
just to give something to try to the guys having problems with wifi connection at boot, I’ll repost my how-to here:
-
connect it on eth and login
-
setup your SSID and WPA key with the command:
wpa_passphrase MYSSID MYKEY > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
(change MYSSID with your SSID and MYKEY with your key)
- add this line to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
scan_ssid=1
(just before the psk= entry, doesn’t work in any other place for me, this will scan your ssid, very useful if you have hidden ssid)
- add those lines to /etc/network/interfaces:
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address MYIP
netmask MYNETMASK
gateway MYGATEWAY
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
(change the caps text with your data)
- reboot (ifdown/ifup or /etc/init.d/networking restart not working for me) with the command
reboot
- if you still have problems with auto connection like I had, comment/remove the eth0 config lines in /etc/network/interfaces this way:
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
WARNING! this will stop eth0 and you’ll not be able to connect through it anymore so be absolutely SURE your setup is correct, if it will fail you’ll have to edit the file connecting the Pi to a monitor and a keyboard or you have to reflash your SD. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!!
don’t know why but to disable eth0 was necessary to me to let volumio work without problems on wifi, if I leave eth0 working it doesn’t connect wifi automatically at boot and even if i put wlan0 up it will not accept remote connections; if I play music lot of pops and cracks occurs.
hope this helps!
thank you very much Michelangelo! hope to see new relases soon!!
