Hi,
After many weeks of work, I finally have an operating Zynthian device built (mostly) from scratch.
All basic functions work perfectly, however, I am having some issues using the WiFi feature. As I am using a Raspberry Pi 2, I have connected an external Edimax WiFi dongle. I connected an Ethernet cable to access the WebUI, added my WiFi network (the SSID was visible when I clicked the “Add Network”), and entered the password. I then proceeded to press the “Start WiFi” button on the Zynthian box. The light on the dongle remained a solid blue, rather than the normal flashing it shows which I believed to be a bit odd.
I then accessed the Zynthian over SSH (still using ethernet) and attempted to ping using the WiFi adapter. The result I got was this:
root@zynthian:~# ping www.google.com -I wlan0
ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than wlan0.
PING www.google.com (216.58.199.36) from 192.168.0.132 wlan0: 56(84) bytes of data.

The output of ifconfig was this:

The WiFi dongle has been tested to work on a different Pi, so presumably this is not a hardware issue.
What have I done wrong here?
edit: Apologies for the formatting, can’t seem to make the code blocks work properly
