RE: Wifi dont reconnect - Scanto - 16th Feb, 2013 06:10 AM
Can I still set a static ip with this config?
edit:
Just solved it by myself.
If anybody's interested
/etc/network/interfaces
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface home inet static
address YOURIP
netmask YOURNETMASK
network YOURNETWORK
gateway YOURGATEWAY
wireless-power off
auto wlan0/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf settings for WPA
Code:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid="YOURSSID"
id_str="home" #has to be the same id as in the interfaces file
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk="YOURPSK"

worked for me as well. thanks for the info! would be great if this was added to future xbian releases.

this is the intended usage (everything else is
/etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
allow-hotplug wlan0
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid NETWORK
wpa-psk PASSWORD
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
so you can keep the wpa conf file as default and only put password and ssid to interfaces. done.

I just downloaded and tried Xbian this week, but I am having major problems trying to get my USB Wi-Fi module to work with my WPA2-PSK network.
It just doesn't want to work, even when trying the helpful tips in this forum and elsewhere.
Right now it fails on "wpa_supplicant: /sbin/wpa_supplicant daemon failed to start" using the quoted setup.
I would like for XBian to adopt a better WPA2 support because the Pi's wi-fi ran fine on the normal NOOBS-installed XBMC version, although considerably slower than XBian does. So what are they doing with their network setup that is missing from XBian?
And how can I fix it myself?
