Not Connecting to WiFi

[CMDann]

I am using the Banana Pi D1 with the official Banana Pi WiFi Module. I am able to boot the device and connect to it when it is broadcasting as an AP.

From the wireless table I found my wifi network at saved my password. The instructions say that once this is saved to press the function key and it will switch to slave mode and the LED will blink. It does blink but only for a second and then goes back to solid and does nothing.

I've been told you have to edit /etc/jffs2/camera.ini, the [wireless] block. I have not been able to connect over serial but either way the fact it isn't working from the control panel seems like an issue. Any advice? I am using the latest 2.0 image.

I built the latest code (8d5b4be). Then flash the firmware to D1.

To make sure D1 is in WIFI AP Mode, type ifconfig in console

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E1:40:24:25:93
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:200 errors:0 dropped:90 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:92 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:25607 (25.0 KiB)  TX bytes:14198 (13.8 KiB)

Then I switching it to WIFI Client mode, type ifconfig in console.

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E1:40:24:25:93
          inet addr:10.0.0.5  Bcast:255.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:1614 (1.5 KiB)  TX bytes:1325 (1.2 KiB)

Seems OK.

I couldn't setup wireless access too. Looks like my rtl8188eu chip revision does not work with 8188eu.ko kernel module. There's now a staging driver on mainline kernel for rtl8188eu which works, but I couldn't compile it targeting this repository kernel. Any clue about this?

dmesg info from mainline kernel when plugging USB wireless dongle:

[697992.785993] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd
[697992.951030] Chip Version Info: CHIP_8188E_Normal_Chip_TSMC_D_CUT_1T1R_RomVer(0)
[697994.193423] r8188eu 3-1:1.0 wlp0s20u1: renamed from wlan0

I am also facing the same issue, the camera is not showing any SSID. i tried 3 different USB WiFi dongle but no luck. Not sure where to look for help. Very poor documentation.

Thanks

What firmware version are you using?
Try flashing the latest.

Although my post is almost a year and a half old, I am still having this issue, the units I own are now living in a drawer.

Just to make sure, do you aware of the fact that the USB sockets are not
identical? One of them is for power only, and won't work as a USB OTG.

I am following the exact procedure in the documentations to connect it through AP mode. But no AP is available to connect with. If you want I can send you a video of my procedure. Something is wrong with the board or the documentation.

I need immediate help, else will open a dispute case with seller for selling faulty board.
Thanks

Sorry to hear that.
If you have a link to the video, I'll watch it and try to help.
