[RESOLVED] Wifi does not work
-
I'm having a problem connecting to a wifi network with the Omega. I haven't used it in a while but since I finally got the battery dock I wanted to put it to good use. I have used the Omega in the past and it was working, but that was back when we originally got them shipped.
I reset the firmware by holding down the button for 10 seconds and logged into the admin panel. Filled out the wifi info and it just got stuck, didn't see any feedback that it was connected. Restarted it and my network info was gone. So I went into the Terminal and tried configuring with the wifisetup script. This is what I get:
/tmp # wifisetup Onion Omega Wifi Setup Select from the following: 1) Scan for Wifi networks 2) Type network info q) Exit Selection: 1 Scanning for wifi networks... Select Wifi network: ***List of networks*** Selection: 6 Network: **** Authentication type: psk2 Enter password: **** /usr/bin/wifisetup: line 1: uci: not found /usr/bin/wifisetup: line 1: uci: not found /usr/bin/wifisetup: line 1: uci: not found > Connecting to **** network using intf 1... /usr/bin/wifisetup: line 1: uci: not found /usr/bin/wifisetup: line 1: uci: not found /usr/bin/wifisetup: line 1: uci: not found /usr/bin/wifisetup: line 1: uci: not found /usr/bin/wifisetup: line 1: uci: not found /usr/bin/wifisetup: line 1: uci: not found /usr/bin/wifisetup: line 1: wifi: not found > Checking wwan device status... > wwan is not up!! > Checking internet connection... > ERROR: request timeout, internet connection not successful /usr/bin/wifisetup: line 1: uci: not found > No network on intf 1 /usr/bin/wifisetup: line 1: uci: not found > Network intf 1 is not set to sta mode > Done!What are my options now to get this working?

@Marcin-Pawelek Not a problem, you will just have to modify a file by hand.
Add the following to
/etc/config/wireless:config wifi-iface option device 'radio0' option mode 'sta' option network 'wwan' option ssid 'YourWifiSsid' option encryption 'psk2' option key 'YourWifiPassword' option disabled '0'Where
YourWifiSsidandYourWifiPasswordare your actual SSID and wifi password, respectively.
Then runwifi. You should then be connected to the internet. Then, try updating your firmware.Let me know how it goes

@Lazar-Demin No luck. Apparently
wificommand does not exist:~ # vi /etc/config/wireless ~ # wifi /bin/ash: wifi: not foundAnd this is very weird:
~ # oupgrade -check /usr/bin/oupgrade: line 235: uci: not found > Device Firmware Version: unknown b > Checking latest version online... > ERROR: request timeout, internet connection not successfulSomehow I have an unknown firmware but I never installed custom firmware. I only reset with the hold down button for 10 seconds method.
Thanks for your help

ok, got it working. After a restart it connected to my wifi. Apparently I was on a very old version of the firmware
0.0.3 b189. After the update to0.1.4 b330things look a lot different. Seems like I'm back up and functional. Thanks for your help!

@Marcin-Pawelek Not a problem, glad it worked out!
