Re: [kura-dev] Kura on wlan0

1. Kura hasn't been tested against NOOBS, only Raspian. Let me check on this and get back to you.

Sorry. I am using the latest Raspian. NOOBS is just the installer.

2. Can you send details on your WiFi module? Kura depends on tools that leverage the nl80211 interface (ex: iw), which not all chipsets support. A quick check would be to issue the command: iw dev list .

I am not even getting that far. Just changing the /etc/network/interfaces file to switch the wlan0 settings from static ip to DHCP seems to brick my Raspberry Pi.

I currently don't have iw installed (which could be part of the problem), but here is what iwconfig tells me:
iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     unassociated  Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency=2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
          Sensitivity:0/0
          Retry:off   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0
So based on this article[1], it looks like I need to install iw and a number of other utilities to run on wifi?

Any documentation on this setup that you can point me to?
