Hello to all.
I have a A13 Olinuxino WiFi, booted with original 2GB Debian image and wired to the laptop trough USB-serial cable (with Putty on Ubuntu 12.04)
I'm trying to follow this guide to install Debian with graphical interface but I have some problems to establish a wifi connection.http://olimex.wordpress.com/2012/11/23/running-debian-with-xfce4-on-a13-olinuxino/
I have created a wireless network with ubuntu ...then on Putty I have typed:
ifconfig -a
indeed (like in the guide)
wlan1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 48:02:2a:eb:21:1c
inet addr:192.168.0.229 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:31361 (30.6 KiB) TX bytes:1248 (1.2 KiB)
I have found
wlan2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 48:02:2a:c5:f2:58

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
However I tried to follow the guide and I've typed
vi /etc/network/interfaces
and then I edited like as follows
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
#auto wlan1
iface wlan1 inet dhcp
#auto wlan2
iface wlan2 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid **ssidname**
wpa-psk **password**
#wpa-ssid OlimexAP
#wpa-psk Yourwifipassword
# wpa-driver wext
# wpa-ssid yourssidhere
# wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
# wpa-psk encodedpskhere
I have rebooted and check again my connection with ifconfig -a but I have found again
wlan2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 48:02:2a:c5:f2:58

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

Where is the problem??
Thanks
extra: at the beginning I typed
auto wlan2
iface wlan2 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid **ssidname**
wpa-psk **password**
without #
So,when I rebooted it didn't found the connection,i think, and had entered in a loop... so I had to go edit again trough vi /etc/network/interfaces, modify that line (with the problem of check the line continuosly covered by the lines of boot) and reboot..wifi chip had become very hot !!
(Sorry for the non-technical language)

Put it all together:

wpa-ssid **ssidname**
wpa-psk **password**
Also make sure you have the wpasupplicant package installed, which isn't by default. Or flash my image, and just modify the /etc/network/interfaces file with your information.
hi jwischka, thanks for the reply!
I modified the code by removing the white space ( I will look the result at the next reboot). [ I used the more user friendly editor nano, instead of vi ]
The wpasupplicant package should to be installed on debian, on Ubuntu or on both ?
Unfortunately I haven't a microSD card reader,so I can't flash your image.
I'll do it just I can
I have rebooted from the SD card but didn't work again,so I had to add # at the line one more time :'( . However I've discovered that the same "loop" is generated if I type
ifup wlan2

wpasupplicant needs to be installed on the card that you're putting in the board. Try removing security on your router and seeing if you can connect then.
Do you actually have two wireless adapters installed? I would remove the second one, if not.
I tried to follow this guide(in italian),http://guide.debianizzati.org/index.php/Configurazione_di_una_connessione_wireless (http://guide.debianizzati.org/index.php/Configurazione_di_una_connessione_wireless) :
root@debian:~# apt-get install wpasupplicant wireless-tools

wireless-tools is already the newest version.
wpasupplicant is already the newest version .
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 129 not upgraded.
and
root@debian:~# iwlist scan

tunl0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
wlan2 No scan results
note " Interface doesn't suppDriverStopped=1

btw at the point "Rete Wireless protetta con WPA" we have:

key_mgmt=WPA-EAP WPA-PSK
proto=RSN WPA
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
}
note that I have used wpa_passphrase and I've used WPA2-Personal (are key_mgmt,proto and pairwise ok?)
then Ihaven't used
pre-up wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
but I've changed /etc/network/interfaces like this:

help please :'(
Maybe I've figured out the problem. I'm trying to use my acertravelmate 6592 as an access point but apparently the Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN is not suitable.
however,can I still make an ad hoc network?
Are you sure you have the required firmware wifi card file installed in /lib/firmware folder? Depending on the wifi card you use it might need a firmware.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=tree
I've found this documentation http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlegacy
.... so I can't use my acer in AP mode but only in IBSS (Ad-Hoc) mode .
Can you suggest me a Guide to do this,please ?
http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse
Hi guys...
Like you can see in the previous posts , I can't use my acer in AP mode but only in IBSS (Ad-Hoc) mode .
I've get a 8GB microSD and I've flashed the jwhischka image,R15....so, how I can configure the connection?
(I use USB to TTL Serial Cable to connect olinuxino to my PC,where I've installed PuTTY)
Thank to all
If the info above is no good and google also isn't then probably buy an AP.

Have you edited /etc/network/interfaces in the image again? I assume you're trying to connect with the built-in wireless adapter on the A13-WIFI to an actual router? Or are you trying to connect it to your laptop?
If it's the second, I would echo what John said and just buy a real AP/router to use - they're cheap, and it will save you a lot of configuration headaches.
I was trying to connect olinuxino with my laptop...ok, I will buy a router !!
thanks! good night all :)
Lots of ISPs provide wifi routers free but otherwise they're very cheap on ebay.
Hello, guys.
I ordered this router, hoping that it was a good investment: D http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230928674888
While waiting for his arrival, I would still insist a little bit and try to connect my olinuxino with my laptop with an ad hoc connection.
I followed this guide and everything seems ok.http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/AdHoc
However, when try to ping I get an error (host unreachable)
Also, if I understand it, to use VNC both devices must be connected to the internet, right?
So you can not connect to the olinuxino desktop from the laptop , only with a USB ti ttl serial cable F? You can only connect to the terminal via Putty?
I'm a hard head,be lenient:D
Do you get an IP address on the board when you are connected in adhoc? You can connect to VNC if both computers are connected and on the same subnet - they don't have to be both connected to the internet per-se, but do need to be on the same network. If you can't ping one from the other, though, there is likely a problem.
The first thing I would try to check is if you can ping the A13 from the laptop. You can find the ip address of the board in ifconfig. If that doesn't work, then you likely aren't connected.

Heeey guys...I was able to connect to the olinuxino desktop via VNC!
I've downloaded TightVNC, I 've unzipped and, following the readme, I've typed
sudo java-jar / blablalba/tvnjviewer-2.6.2-bin/tightvnc-jviewer.jar
(http://i48.tinypic.com/1cho9.png)
I've pressed on connect and...
(http://i46.tinypic.com/55v6x.png)
I've entered the password "password" (as it is written in the post jwischka)
and voila:

Now remains the problem of the internet connection ...

You have to manually your route table to add a gateway on your board to route traffic through the 10.42.0.1 gateway. Then you need to configure your computer to both a) forward IP traffic, if it isn't already, and b) bridge the wireless and wired interfaces, and then set up appropriate routes, metrics, etc. It can all be done, but frankly you're going to need a short course in routing to get it set up properly - which is why I suggested you buy a router which has things more or less pre-configured. You'll also likely run into firewall issues on the computer potentially not allowing traffic through.
In short, if you don't have a fairly good understanding of how to use route and iptables, it's going to be really, really not trivial to do what you're wanting.
I get it. many thanks jwischka .. Waiting for the arrival of router I will have fun with VNC ... Best regards and thanks for the advices :)
Hi guys..here we are again :P
I m now in a place where is enabled a wifi network,so I've decided to try the AP mode connection..
So:
-I've changed /etc/network/interfaces with SSID and key of WIFi network
-I've bring up the wlan and now I have a inet address like 131.144.etc.etc
-to access the web I need to login (user/PW) , so I need something like w3m,right?
Is there something like that in Jwischka's image?

Depends on how the local network is set up. A lot of public hotspots won't let you ping other hosts (in other words, you couldn't ping the A13 from your laptop, even if you were both connected to the same AP, for security reasons). If that's the case, things might be rough.
If you can connect, VNC in and open a web-browser. If not, yes, something like lynx would probably be your next try. Unfortunately, it's not installed on my image, so you'll have to get it on there doing a chroot, probably.
Dear jwischka
I'm writing to you from olinuxino!! ;D
I was able to connect via ethernet (with adapter) the board and and via VNC,in ad hoc wifi,with my laptop. So I was able to log in with firefox
Now I will have to install lynx ,right?

I was able to connect via ethernet (with adapter) the board and and via VNC,in ad hoc wifi,with my laptop. So I was able to log in with firefox
Now I will have to install lynx ,right?
You can, yeah. At a console:
sudo apt-get install lynx
Hi jwischka,good sunday
I have installed Lynx but when I launch it by terminal I get
Looking up lynx.isc.org and then
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.
lynx: Can't access startfile http://lynx.isc.org/
Maybe I could try with w3m or other?
Another question: my /etc/network/interfaces is
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
#codice per la connessione ad hoc all'Acer TravelMate
#auto wlan1
#iface wlan1 inet static
# address 10.42.0.2
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# wireless-channel 1
# wireless-essid olinuxino
# wireless-mode ad-hoc
#codice per la connessione ad un AccessPoint,in questo caso SerraUnipi
auto wlan1
iface wlan1 inet dhcp
wireless-essid SerraUnipi
wireless-mode managed
wpa-driver wext
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Can I put both blocks relating to wlan1 without #, so as to be able to connect with the network SerraUnipi or olinuxino only when there are?
Do I need to create an "if" structure, perhaps?
Thanks
Ok the first question is solved... I've rebooted again and it works. I can surf the web via Lynx but, how you said, I can't connect with VNC because of the set up of the local network (I think). So, I will have to wait the arrival of router,or connect with ethernet to the olinuxino and with ad hoc wifi with my laptop.
QuoteDepends on how the local network is set up. A lot of public hotspots won't let you ping other hosts (in other words, you couldn't ping the A13 from your laptop, even if you were both connected to the same AP, for security reasons). If that's the case, things might be rough.
Remains the second, how can I make more "automatic" the connection? (if I can)

No - you can't have them both in the file. If you want to do something like that, you should remove them entirely from the file and use wicd (installed in VNC, or you could do it using x tunneling over SSH) to set up the connections. It offers quite a bit more in the way of automatically connecting when various connections are present.
