So, another day, another image trial.
I have had a problem getting wifi to work on the Jivelite Joggler.
Lots of post ont'interweb detailing how to do it and I could not get any
to work.
I tried the set-up as detail by *chill* but without success.
This morning I spent several hours of unfruitfal hacking and then came
across a post which gave me the "lightbulb" moment.:o:o:rolleyes:
Being a "bear of little brain" I had neglected to check if wlan was up
or down.:o:p
Of course it was down! (time for a facepalm!).
I still had to hack about for a while before I got it working.
Here's how I did it.
A new base image.
Code:
--------------------
sudo apt-get update
--------------------
Code:
--------------------
sudo apt-get install wireless-tools wpasupplicant -y
--------------------
Check it wifi is working
Code:
--------------------
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
--------------------
if down, run
Code:
--------------------
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
--------------------
and check again, confirm the router ESSID is visible.
Then I completed the wifi set up as per the detail provided by *chill* (
I left the "..." ).
Code:
--------------------
sudo shutdown -h now
--------------------
Remove Ethernet cable, re-plug the Joggler and off we go.
Continued with the set-up.
I have copied the image and burnt it to a different usb stick.
Works like a good'un.
