Cannot configure wifi

[cmoulliard]

Creating a bug report/issue

I cannot select the Wifi slot0 (as defined within the dietpi-wifi.txt file) using dietpi-config. When I select the slot0, then I see the message remove .... and no wifi SSI is then selected

Remark: After click and many buttons, the slot0 hs been configured but the Wifi adapter has not been enabled as the IP address assigned by the DHCP server to the wlan0 adapter concerns the Eth adapter

Hi,

best to my knowledge, this means these WiFi details are already selected on slot 0. But @MichaIng could explain it better than I 😃

[cmoulliard]

Remark: We need a doc page explaining how to setup the Wifi network and/or Ethernet or both ;-)

[MichaIng]

I'm reworking the whole network setup anyway, and it's possible to chance SSID and password and also WPA2/EAP switch and settings individually. I also found it a bit counter-intuitive that the only possibility to alter a slot currently is to remove and re-add it.

But please be partitioned, it's a larger change with a rats tail behind it that needs to be taken care of as well.
