Hi. I'm having issues getting any kind of networking going using the new image. I can access the board via usb, ssh in with Putty on my Windows machine and terminal on my Mac, and the IDE comes up ok on both machines. However, actually getting any sort of wifi access with the board won't work at all. I've have always successfully used the Edimax wifi dongle with no problems, but now it just won't work. Also, internet sharing (which always worked with Windows before) won't work at all now.
This is my /etc/network/interfaces file:
WiFi Example
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
wpa-ssid "T8A737"
wpa-psk "554n3b475%"
address 192.168.1.97
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
#iface wlan0 inet manual
#wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ifup and ifdown seem to work, but I can't ping anything:
root@bela:~# ping 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.1.97 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.97 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
It also seems that the old method of routing gateways is no longer a thing:
root@bela:~# /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.7.1
-bash: /sbin/route: No such file or directory
I've tried ip route add default gw, but that fails as well.
Any ideas? I've been pulling my hair out for days with this issue and I've tried everything I can think of. I need to download Python libraries but I can't do that without any network connection. Also, (as just illustrated by my computer screen yet again) the connection that I have between the Bela and my PC is really unstable and fails often. I'll be connected for a few minutes before getting a "Network error: Software caused connection abort" message. I'm going crazy over here. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
