I did some reading up, but hit hurdle everywhere.
ifconfig and rfkill are not avaiable
Code: Select all
iwconfig wlp4s0 shows some info.
used 'iwconfig wlp4s0 essid "ssid" s:passphrase' but always get an error 'Invalid argument'. I try to add single quotes / double quotes and combinations thereoff.
Resorted to wpa,
Code: Select all
wpa_passphrase "ssid" "passphrase" >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp4s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
reports n180211: kernel reports: Match already configured (this line appears multiple times)
[b]rfkill: WLAN soft blocked[/b]
dlclient wlp4s0 => operation not possible due to RF-KILL
Then press Fn + F2 key to turn on radio should it be off. and repeat dhcliet, but to no avail.
I turn the radio on/off/on again and restart the service to see following status (active/exited).
Feb 10 21:05:39 debian sh[1274]: send_packet: Network is down
Feb 10 21:05:39 debian sh[1274]: dhclient.c Failed to send 300 byte long packet over wlp4s0 interface.
Feb 10 21:05:39 debian dhclient[1274]: send_packet: Network is down
Feb 10 21:05:39 debian dhclient[1274]: dhclient.c Failed to send 300 byte long packet over wlp4s0 interface.
At this point I don't know what to do. Any help is appreciated. TIA.
