How to configure wlan0

paolo

Hello,
I have just installed Base OS x64.
The ssh access via eth0 works but I can't configure wlan0.
I see that the configuration file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf usually found on Raspbian does not exist on Base OS.
I've tried editing /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf but it still doesn't work.

Do you have a solution for me?

Hello, the problem is that the wlan0 interface is disabled on our units in U-Boot by default. Those are steps to enable and configure the Wi-Fi interface:

Set up the Wi-Fi parameters:

sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf

Enable wlan0 in U-Boot

cd /etc/bootcmd.d/
sudo make enable-wifi

Set up management (DHCP) on wlan0:

sudo cp /etc/systemd/network/examples/10-wlan0.network.example  /etc/systemd/network/10-wlan0.network

A reboot is required to reflect the changes in U-Boot:

sudo reboot

@cleve How can I configure IPv4 on eth0? In the previous version, there was a dhcpcd.conf file inside /etc/dhcp/. Should I create this file, or is there another method to set a static or dynamic IP on the Ethernet port?

Greetings
Thanks

Hello,
it would be better if you create a separate thread for an unrelated issue next time. Our systems use systemd-networkd, it's a standard GNU/Linux daemon, you can refer to Debian/Arch Linux manuals.
