Hi Guys,

I have setup my PI up to boot from my USB flash disk and its working great! except I can't get my wlan going..
If I boot from SD it works fine no config needed but from USB its a no go?

Here are some outputs:

Terminal

@damianv

this sounds like power issue. do you have both wifi dongle and usb storage device attached through powered usb hub?

Hi mk

Thanks for the reply. Yes it seems to have been a power issue. Used the powered usb hub and it has created an interface for the wlan0 now

Thanks for the help!
