Hi Greg, Indeed I swapped to wired ethernet to get into the pi, as I still lack the serial console cable. Besides, who can live without network connectivity nowadays?
Multiple power offs were not needed; the PCP web interface worked like a charm : http://192.168.x.y/cgi-bin/wifi.cgi ( RPi3B Built-in Wifi On Off ) Hence wired ethernet was my best friend to get connected again. I feel it is more a lack of support of the WIFI dongle in PCP 3.1. Perhaps the microcode is not downloaded to the device or kernel routines for this hardware are missing in the picore. Investigating this dongle through https://sites.google.com/site/picoreplayer/wifi-dongles I see there are remarks from others noting it is an non-working device. If I had seen that before my attempts and thread start I might have prevented this tread. But now it is in, lets see if there is more knowledge on this device, and we can document what is possible or not. It isn't the most vague adapter, and many starters might have bought it believing it is the best supported one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ M-H's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66156 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106876 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
