wlan not activated

[didomax]

All,

thanks a lot for all your replies!

A couple of comments

• ESSID/PSK are ok, otherwise it would not connect from command line
  

• wpa_supplicant starts with a different commandline compared to what @TheOldPresbyope  mentioned, see my systemctl output below
  

Code:

  CGroup: /system.slice/wpa_supplicant.service
          └─400 /sbin/wpa_supplicant -u -s -O /run/wpa_supplicant

 
So, no options -iwlan0, -B, -D... why? @TheOldPresbyope , which version are you using? I am on the 7.0.1.

Btw, before reading your posts I already modified the systemd script

Code:

[Service]
Type=dbus
BusName=fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1
ExecStart=/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Dwext -u -s -O /run/wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0

adding the driver wext, at the nl80211 showed errors in the syslog. Now it works, although not as nice as yours (7€ dongle, not the highest quality)

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ systemctl status wpa_supplicant

Is this a bug in the systemd script I can report? I did not mess around with that file before  

Thanks
Max
