Connecting to Wifi

[SteffenFuchs]

Dear all,

this is maybe a simple question,

I am using the STMP1 SOM together with the evaluation board, but I cannot get Wifi to connect to an existing network.

When I use:

Code Select Expand

iwlist scan
several networks are shown, so I suppose the hardware is working:

Code Select Expand

But when I try

Code Select Expand

wpa_supplicant -B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlx0cc65568400a -D wext
the result was

Code Select Expand

Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
rfkill: Cannot get wiphy information
ioctl[SIOCSIWAP]: Operation not permitted
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument

I first tried without -D wext, but then the response was

Code Select Expand

Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
nl80211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect commands
nl80211: deinit ifname=wlx0cc65568400a disabled_11b_rates=0
wlx0cc65568400a: Failed to initialize driver interface
wlx0cc65568400a: CTRL-EVENT-DSCP-POLICY clear_all

nmcli does not even show any listed networks, and can also not connect.

Does anyone have an idea how to successfully connect?
Thanks!

I think it should work fine after this line "wpa_supplicant -B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlx0cc65568400a -D wext" The first result seems like few warnings, but it should work. This guy had same issue:
