[PROBLEM] no network tab to enable wifi

[Nachteule]

Hmmm, I suppose this is hardcoded.

Probably you have to rewrite splash

Wow, I have just installed 18.3 and I had the hardest time finding where to configure the wifi. I'm a complete newbie to this, but finally found the network eth0 had up and down carrots and needed to be changed to wlan0 and then I could scan for networks with my rpi3.

I think that could be made a little easier for the non-linux users.

I realize this is the wrong thread, but I can't post a new thread, yet and this is the closest I could find. Hopefully this helps someone else?

This has nothing to do with Linux.

Btw, there is a easy way to setup wlan before initial boot:

Prepare a wpa_supplicant.conf file and put it into the boot partition, as described for example here, Step 4. Add network info

That's it

Now you can create new threads
