Version 0.0.8: From Onion with Love

Chris McCaslin

I may or may not have an issue (I'll have to try and connect to another AP once I'm home) where after upgrading to 0.0.8 b296 build, I can no longer connect to a network I was previously connected to. This could be to a blank password requirement or to throttling by my work network, so I'll report with more details if I can't connect once home.

This is common do

vi /etc/config/wireless

find

config wifi-iface

then look for

option disabled '1'

change it to

option disabled '0'

then type the command

wifi

@chris-mccaslin if your /etc/config/wireless file has multiple wifi-iface sections, note that you should only have one ap and one sta network enabled at a time.

If you are experiencing issues with the wifi not connecting to a network that previously worked, can you please create an issue on the wdb40 GitHub issues page? Please make sure to include the contents of your /etc/config/wireless file.

@Lazar-Demin I'll do that once I get home, before I try the new wifi sta connection. @chris-mccaslin thanks for the info.

Theodore Borromeo

Created https://github.com/OnionIoT/wdb40/issues/2 for the AP being disabled by default on a previously working AP. The above by @Lazar-Demin does remedy the issue.

Lazar Demin

@Theodore-Borromeo Ok, I will look into this today.
When you say 'AP being disabled by default', do you mean the Omega's AP or a WiFi AP the Omega is trying to connect to?

Theodore Borromeo

@Lazar-Demin a wifi ap that the onion is trying to connect to. The onion AP doesn't have a line item for the 'option disabled' flag. . .

Theodore Borromeo

Also, I see b297 available, but no corresponding entry on: https://wiki.onion.io/Documentation/Firmware-Changelog

Lazar Demin

@Theodore-Borromeo The 'option disabled` flag for the Omega's AP will be added once you change the AP settings with the new Console
In any case, I've responded to the GitHub issue page.

(Our wiki doesn't update as quickly as our changelog is updated, should be coming soon)

SSH doesn't seem to work anymore after de upgrade, the connection instantly drops

┌─[igor][DeWitt][~]

root@onionomega's password: 
Connection to onionomega closed.

@Igor-Moura That's strange I'm using putty and havent had a problem thus far. What client are you using?

Lazar Demin

A note on the Network Manager:
If your SSID has a space in it, you will need the latest version in order to successfully connect.
Run the following to get the latest version:

opkg update
opkg upgrade wdb40

Reboot and the Omega should be able to connect to your network.

@Michael-Vowles I was using Linux's own ssh, but after updating NetworkManager as @Lazar-Demin said, it worked (I also don't have to manually enable my wifi anymore)

Is everything ok with the firmware server?

@Lazar-Demin
Help please... After upgrading from firmware 0.0.5 to 0.0.8 the wlan0 device of my Onion Omega is gone.

How do i reenable the Wifi-Interface?

Lazar Demin

@Vyacheslav-Bachynskyi We made some upgrades to the firmware server so there was some downtime last week. Should be running smoothly now. Let me know if it isn't!

@Thorsten-Ludewig The Omega is most likely having issues connecting to your WiFi network. Can you please make an issue at https://github.com/OnionIoT/wdb40/issues and I'll provide support.
