Thanks Stéphane. I believe what you have is equivalent to the instructions that appear as comments in the /etc/network/interfaces file that ships with Debian 8.6. They connect OK, but the connection is not re-established after a reboot, despite adding the command "config wifi_<blah> autoconnect on". The full set of commands I used was:
#connmanctl #connmanctl> tether wifi disable #connmanctl> enable wifi #connmanctl> scan wifi #connmanctl> services #connmanctl> config wifi_*_managed_psk autoconnect on #connmanctl> agent on #connmanctl> connect wifi_*_managed_psk #connmanctl> quit The * above corresponds to two great long strings of hex digits separated by an underscore, which you obtain by looking at the output of the "services" command, to the right of the SSID you want. Fortunately tab-completion works for those. But after a reboot the WiFi service does not come up. I read a theory that this is because the connman service runs too early, e.g. before the USB hardware is initialised. My friend Mike Van Emmerik came up with a way to make it work. We installed the WiFi Reset Sevice as described here: https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-wifi-with-beaglebone-black/configuration#wifi-reset-service <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Flearn.adafruit.com%2Fsetting-up-wifi-with-beaglebone-black%2Fconfiguration%23wifi-reset-service&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNFzCt5RfD181cF20DGe1x3jY1HdCQ> but before running install.sh we edited wifi-reset.sh so it only does: sleep 30 connmanctl connect wifi_*_managed_psk where * is the same string of hex-digits and underscore as above. This made the WiFi connection re-establish after a reboot, but _only_ if we unlpugged our wired ethernet connection! I would love a solution to this last remaining problem. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
