I think I had to use wpa_supplicant to get my RPi to connect to my hidden SSID network in the past, just setting flags in /etc/network/interfaces would not get it to work. All my Pis are wire at the moment though, so can check for sure.
Have a read of: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11517, you see there the guy mentions you specifically need ap_scan=2 and scan_ssid=1 in your wpa_supplicant script. Not sure about the ap_scan setting, since in his script he doesn't seem to set it (that I can see) and according to http://www.daemon-systems.org/man/wpa_supplicant.conf.5.html the default value is 1, not 2. scan_ssid on the other hand I'm pretty sure I remember does need to be set to 1. Basically you want your /etc/network/interfaces file to have something like: Code: -------------------- auto wlan0 allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -------------------- and then have a file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf as: Code: -------------------- ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1 network={ ssid="ENTER SSID HERE" scan_ssid=1 mode=0 proto=WPA2 auth_alg=OPEN pairwise=CCMP group=CCMP key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk="ENTER PASSKEY HERE" } -------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
