Re: RP 0.98-647 / Wifi dongle not recognized anymore
Posted: Fri Sep 20, 2019 8:23 pm
Just to confirm from my earlier post, the PAU05 dongle still seems to be working without a problem; I've powered up/down probably a dozen times. Just to be clear, I'll explain how I get the wireless AP set up. As I said above, I do not use the web setup/network manager.

My hostapd.conf file:
My interfaces file:
- I image the uSD card with the latest stable build (in this case Version 0.98, Build 694).
- I copy my hostpad.conf file (see below) to the root directory of the 124MB partition.
- I insert the card into the RP and power up.
- I open a terminal window and copy my interfaces file (see below) into the /etc/network directory:
Code: Select all
scp /home/john/Projects/DAQ_RedP/interfaces root@rp:/etc/network/interfaces
