WiFi setup

How can I disable wifi after it has been setup? When I type “wifi” it only asks for IP address etc but there is no option to disable wifi.

@HellRazor
For disabling wifi you need to execute command

wifi-disable

Не получается поднять wifi. при команде #wifi ввожу SSID и пароль, ругается с ошибкой too many simbolic links.
ifconfig адаптер видит, но к сети не подключается.
Куда копнуть не подскажете?

Cause HiveOS is buuild on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial you will find help in Ubuntu Forums.
WLAN runs out of the box in Ubuntu.
If not it is a problem between several drivers or a missing firmware package.
Just do a Google search at: “Ubuntu 16.04” Your Wlan Adapter or: “Ubuntu Xenial” Your Wlan Adapter. In most cases you have to blacklist some other drivers or load additional firmwarepackage and you are ready to go.

Just updated my rig(s) to ver.0.5-54. Why HiveOS still doesn’t connect to hidden wifi? Please, follow my simple solution: find in /hive/sbin/wifi at line 117

wpa_passphrase "$WIFI_SSID" "$WIFI_PASSWORD" |tee /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

and replace it with

wpa_passphrase "$WIFI_SSID" "$WIFI_PASSWORD" | sed -e "s/\}/	scan_ssid=1
\}/g" |tee /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

this whill add additional option “scan_ssid=1” to wpa supplicant config file. then reboot and enjoy!
Or do you know some more elegance solution?
Anyway, I hope this whill helps… to someone :wink:

So does anyone know a cheap wifi adapter that i can plug in and someone has already figured out how to get it to start and connect to the internet on reboot that someone can tell me about? And give me what i need to type to get the drivers.

@MiningYeti
Several month ago bought on AliExpress for only 2.95 USD Wi-Fi which fully supported by HiveOS (MT7601U inside)

promo price today - 2.85 USD

@HaloGenius is their anything else that i need to run? Such as drivers to install? Or is it just plug and play?

@MiningYeti
Drivers integrated to HiveOS. PNP and no pain )

Just wanted to add that the Amazon Basics Wifi adapter works without any additional work. Just plugged it in (after HiveOS was loaded), typed “wifi” and everything connected flawlessly.

Заказал такой себе. Попытаюсь заставить работать, но на случай неудачи присоединяюсь к просьбе добавить поддержку в сборку)

with antenna

The same trouble. After deployment I have used command ‘wifi’ and it works properly, but after reboot it doesn’t work anymore. The same error: ‘too many symbolic links’


Every time it works only in the first boot.
I tried to edit etc/network/interfaces - doesn’t work too.
Adapter TL-WN821N, drivers by default. HaveOS v. 0.5-57
Any idea - how can I fix it?

So, I built a farm with same adapter about 3-4 months ago. Now I have tried the same (old) HiveOS distrib, and it works without any problems (after installing the drivers).

У меня получилось запустить Acher T1U. Думаю решение должно подойти и к T2UH.
I have solutions for Acher T1U:

  1. mkdir src
  2. cd src
  3. wget https://github.com/xtknight/mt7610u-linksys-ae6000-wifi-fixes/archive/master.zip
  4. unzip master.zip
  5. cd mt7610u-linksys-ae6000-wifi-fixes-master
  6. make
  7. make install
  8. modprobe mt7610u_sta
  9. vi /etc/network/interfaces
  10. Добавьте эти строки в файл. insert this strings:

auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid ****
wpa-psk ****

wpa-psk получаем командой wpa_passphrase [ ssid ] [ passphrase ]
11. if up ra0

Вот и всё. После ребута wifi автоматом подключается.

I hope this isn’t a dead thread but I just recently switched to HiveOS from Windows and it seems much easier to use but I am unable to use wifi on a Realtek mt7601 wireless adapter. When I type the wifi command I receive the message “No wlan0 interface found”. I have tried every guide I could possibly find on the internet and have reinstalled my HiveOS multiple times with different versions but I just can’t get the wifi command to work. I am having the same errors as the person here and it seems “mrgromov” found a fix but I don’t fully steps 2 and 3 as I am not very familiar with linux.
Does anyone have an easy fix? Thank you

EDIT After two days of fighting with the adapter I got another one I had ordered in the mail and decided to try a fresh install with it and immediately it worked perfectly with the wifi command. To anybody reading this in the future who has the same problem as me I suggest you just get a new one, sometimes they can just be fucked with linux, despite working on windows as in my case.
