wifi setup during installation
Last modified: 2021-12-26 05:24:03 UTC
Using wlan during installation does currently not work. There are several issues (see below). Generally, you can setup the interface by using the WIRELESS_* ifcfg entries, using a boot option like this: ifcfg=wlan0=dhcp,WIRELESS_ESSID=mynet,WIRELESS_AUTH_MODE=xxx,... But this runs into problems: 1) there's no systemd running, so wicked <-> wpa_supplicant communication seems to fail 2) when you start the rescue system, systemd runs, but at least for my test machine (using rt2800) it still fails Any suggestions? How can we overcome 1)?
Either just start it as in /usr/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -u -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log or provide own dbus activation service definitions to start it on demand instead to redirect to the SystemdService=wpa_supplicant.service: /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.service /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.service Wicked will trigger a dbus activation here.

While our intel wlan hw seems to work fine in the supported cases, other HW seems to cause problems.
Thanks! I've solved 1) with latest submissions.
