Configure WiFi on mlinux

Gateways
1

Hi,

I am using the LoRa Server Project, and converted my Multitech AEP conduit to mlinux. Everything is going fine, but now i have to place my conduit at location where i dont have any Ethernet connection. I tried this solution, but without any success.

I get following responses.

Has any one successfully configured the wifi on mlinux conduit?

Thanks a lot

Have you looked at http://www.multitech.net/ for instructions?

Hi @brocaar

Yes, there are instructions for AEP version but for mlinux unfortunately no such information is available. I think the drivers for the " Redpine signals wifi module (Redpine RS9113 )" are missing. I am saying it due to the fact that when i navigated to the directory "/sys/class/net/ " i did not find “wlan0” .This is present in case i am using AEP version of the conduit. Additionally i have opened one case at multitech support portal, but i have received any response as of now.

Thanks for your response. :slight_smile:

maybe this will help http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/mlinux/using-mlinux/wifi-station/

Yes @mladen1978, it was helpful. But only after i acquired the RS9113 drivers from the multitech.
Thank you :slight_smile:
