Hello everyone. I'm very new to this sort of thing, so please forgive me if my question is stupid, but I've been searching and haven't been able to figure out the solution yet. I posted this question in the "other" bbbw forum, but got no answers after several days, so I'm trying again here.
I have just updated my BeagleBone Black Wireless to the latest Debian image from the Beagleboard website. Now I'm trying to connect the BeagleBone to my wireless network. After a lot of time searching online I found several guides that all basically say the same thing: use connmanctl to connect, and... that's it. Well, it isn't working for me. Here's what I tried right after flashing the BeagleBone with the latest image: 1. I connected it to my Ubuntu laptop via USB 2. I ssh-ed onto the BeagleBone as Debian: ssh debian@192.168.7.2 (using the default temporary password; I tried using "ssh root@192.168.7.2" with the same password but I get the error message "Permission denied, please try again"). 3. sudo connmanctl 4. enable wifi > "already enabled" 5. scan wifi > "Scan completed for wifi" 6. services (displayed my local wifi network) 7. agent on > "Agent registered" 8. connect [wifi_blahblahblah] > "Passphrase?" I entered the wifi key > "Connected wifi_blahblahblah" 9. quit 10. ping www.google.com > "ping: www.google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution" According to several guides I've checked out, it should now be working. I've tried giving it a few minutes and pinging again, but still nothing. Meanwhile, on my Ubuntu laptop, when I check available wifi networks I see "BeagleBone-D8EF". Could it be that I can't get the connection working properly because it's set up to allow my computer to connect to it via wifi instead? Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I would appreciate any help with the problem. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
