Please, send the contents of your “/etc/network/interfaces” file. Also your wifi-dongle model.
Regards,
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug wlan1
iface wlan1 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
wifi usb model = RTl8192/8188CUS Chipset
works on pi / linux fine I have use with raspberry pi distro
It seems OK. Perhaps you could try to comment these lines and restart:
#allow-hotplug wlan1
#iface wlan1 inet dhcp
When you plug the dongle in your zynthian, what’s the output of these commands?
iwconfig
ifconfig
Thanks!
I had reproduced your problem with another Wifi dongle. Then i tried commenting the lines in the “/etc/network/interfaces” and it worked like a charm!!
Regards,
But perhaps there is a better solution. Take a look to this post:
I followed the @C0d3man’s recipe in my RBPI 3B+ Zynthian:
wget https://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-brcm80211_20161130-3+rpt3_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i firmware-brcm80211_20161130-3+rpt3_all.deb
And uncommented the lines again. It works too, and now the internal WIFI device is working again.
Regards,
did this and did the edit comment out reboot still not able to get external usb card working but
the internal one is working!!
here is result of the commands
iwconfig

2 WiFi Adapters at the same time?
This is tricky. When you Google it you find a lot of ppl that are having this issue.
I read sth, that you have to use 2 wpa_supplicant conf files as well.
HI, mheidt : not 2 wifi networks at the same time. I had problems connecting the internal wifi,
so I wanted to add an external wifi. after running the hacks for fixing the internal wifi, I can connect the internal wifi fine, ( some range issues but it works )
