Hi guys,

I´ve read a lot of posts in this thread, yet I´m still not absolutetly
shure, if there is a chance to get the RPi automatically connected to a
hidden Wifi Network.

I have a lot of experiences in Streaming. Actually I`m using 3 Logitech
devices (Classic, Radio and a Touch). My LMS is running on a
QNAP-Server, Twonky and Asset are working parallel too providing media
for further upnp-clients. I recentliy bought a hifi-berry and my RPi is
now running picore. Everything works fine, however I can´t connect to my
network, when hidden. A hidden wifi-network is very important for me.

I´m quite a newbie in programming Linux. I´ve understood, that actually
there is no out-of-the-box-support in picore for a an automatic set-up.
Is there any chance of creating a workaround or a skript for a
hand-made-implementation, which can be backed up or saved to the
config-files on the SD-Card?

If so, please can anybody tell me, how to do this

In another Forum I found this:

-WLAN setup and configuration for a hidden SSID wifi network

1.Generate a PSK version of your WLAN password with wpa_passphrase
utility
$ wpa_passphrase "<Your Wifi SSID>" "<Your Wifi PASSWORD>"
(Quotes are needed for whitespace)
2.Edit /etc/network/interfaces and add the
following:######################################
auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-scan-ssid 1
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-proto RSN WPA
wpa-pairwise CCMP TKIP
wpa-group CCMP TKIP
wpa-ssid "<Your Wifi SSID>"
wpa-psk <Your PSK Value>

iface default inet dhcp
######################################
3.Save the changes and shutdown the Raspberry Pi.
4.Unplug the ethernet cable and plug in the Edimax EW-7811Un wifi
dongle.
5.Power on the Raspberry PI and wait for the wireless to get a IP.-

Could this be a solution?

Thank you so far.

Best regards Thomas
