Hi All,
When I was working with 3.X kernel versions, integrating WiFi USB Adapter
was straightforward. I'm facing issues setting up WiFi with 4.4.54-ti-r93
I'm trying with Edimax N150 (EW-7811Un).
I started off with something simple -- by connecting the WiFi adapter
module and adding the following code to
/etc/network/interfaces
allow-hotplug wlan0
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
# wpa-ssid "myESSID"
# wpa-psk "myPass"
I tried to restart and this did not work. I see the below when I do
*iwconfig*
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
and the following when I do *ifconfig*
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 74:da:38:8d:1c:54
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST DYNAMIC MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

I tried to do this *wpa_supplicant*
I created a file *wpa_supplicant.conf *in */etc/wpa_supplicant *with the
following code
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=US
Then I executed this command,
wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0
wlan0: Failed to initialize driver interface
Then I read that nl80211 might not work with old adapters. So I tried with
*wext*
wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -D -wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.
conf
I get the following errors
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument
ctrl_iface exists and seems to be in use - cannot override it
Delete '/run/wpa_supplicant/wlan0' manually if it is not used anymore
Failed to initialize control interface '/run/wpa_supplicant'.
You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file was
left by an unclean termination of wpa_supplicant in which case you will need
to manually remove this file before starting wpa_supplicant again.
Then I tried to make wpa_supplicant do everything. I modified the*
/etc/network/interfaces* file as follows
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
My */etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf* as follows
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=US
network={
ssid="my_ESSID"
psk="my_Pass"
scan_ssid=1
}
I get the following log when I do *sudo systemctl status networking.service*

I feel I've run out of options. What else can I do? Am I missing something
trivial here? I want to avoid kernel upgrade/downgrade.
Thanks for your help.
