to get rid of doubts:
uwl9 - interface NOT in /etc/network/interfaces
1. put interface into usb port
2. issue "sudo /sbin/wpa_cli -g /run/wpa_supplicant/global interface_add uwl9
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf"
3. issue "sudo ip link set up dev uwl9"
4. select network with "sudo wpa_cli -i uwl9"
5. affter few minutes still is:
===================
17: uwl9: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP
group default qlen 1000
link/ether 54:07:7d:9c:03:28 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet6 fe80::5607:7dff:fe9c:328/64 scope link proto kernel_ll
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
===================
important note: at first time interface sometimes get IP addr, probably
we need turn it off and on again to observe problem.
Another example:
wilga is mobile router, which can be connected by usb and presents RNDIS
interface. No ifupdown/configuration
Issuing first time
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
sudo ip link set up dev wilga
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
we got interface properly configured,
then
- sudo ip link set down dev wilga
- plug out
- plug in again
- issue sudo ip link set up dev wilga
and still is:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
20: wilga: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state
UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether 86:8f:d4:e1:be:ca brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet6 fe80::848f:d4ff:fee1:beca/64 scope link proto kernel_ll
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The same command with 1:10.2.4-4 properly get address:
20: wilga: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state
UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether 86:8f:d4:e1:be:ca brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.207.160/24 brd 192.168.207.255 scope global dynamic
noprefixroute wilga
valid_lft 86400sec preferred_lft 75600sec
inet6 fe80::7d75:4f39:5287:eb12/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
