Have we any Pi gurus on here? I have a bit of a problem getting mine to work with a WiFi adaptor.
My Pi shows some odd behaviour during initial boot up. I started with a pre loaded OS from CPC in September and have sudo apt-get updated it this week. During the boot process, when an excess of text runs up my screen, I see that wlan0 gets changed to wlan1 (Ican't remember the exact words) and then the following errors appear (I had to photo the screen to read it!)
"configuring network interfaces...wpa_supplicant: /sbin/wpa_supplicant daemon failed to start
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1
Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: no such file or directory
wpa_supplicant: /sbin/wpa_cli daemon failed to start
run-parts: /etc/network/if-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1
done."
Predictably, the wlan doesn't work, never has, although to be fair I have only just been through the very complete driver instructions found at
home automation - D.I.Y. Home Automation Projects - Raspberry Pi - Installing the Edimax EW-7811Un USB WiFi Adapter (WiFiPi).
I have the Edimax WiFi dongle referred to on that page.
I am a newbee at this. Can someone explain the above errors, why the waln0 gets changed to wlan1, how to slow the boot script so that I have time to read some of it and what I need to do to get my wireless working?
Ta,
