Hi folks,
I am trying to set up wifi with my intel Edison, but it fails all the time. Just to make sure, I first type
root@EdisonByChris:~# rfkill unblock all
Then I type
root@EdisonByChris:~# configure_edison --wifi
and get
Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: (null) error: No such file or directory Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: (null) error: No such file or directory
and no wireless networks are listed. However, some are definitively available. So I tried the following:
root@EdisonByChris:~# systemctl start wpa_supplicant root@EdisonByChris:~# wpa_cli
but then I get:
Interactive mode Could not connect to wpa_supplicant: (null) - re-trying
Does anybody know how to diagnose/fix this?
Thanks!

Did you update the Edison first? (copy the latest Edison image and do reboot ota)

In fact I did, but I am not convinced it worked. There was no obvious error message, but it did not change the host name, so I suppose something went wrong. Anyway, this version is now installed:
root@EdisonByChris:~# uname -r 3.10.17-poky-edison+
Would that be the current version? If not, how can I see what went wrong with the update?
Thank you!

Okay, never mind. For some reason upon retry the update worked now and so does wifi!
Thanks a lot!

Good to hear that it is working now.
Just for reference, this is how you get the current version:
configure_edison --version
