Title: Wifi does not work on freshly installed Gemian
Post by: Zarhan on April 01, 2023, 09:09:17 am

I finally got around to installing Linux on Cosmo, now that Astro is my daily driver. I followed the instructions from https://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Linux_for_Cosmo with the "v4". It's booting and all that, but for some reason, I cannot get it to connect to my home wifi.

If I intentionally type in a wrong WPA-PSK password, the fact that the password is wrong is recognized - so it's definitely doing *something* with the wifi. However, with correct password, it never gets an IP address. Cosmo just seems to give up eventually.

Any idea how to get this going? I'd like to install basic updates but cannot really connect even to the network now...

Ok, started it again today and now wifi works. I have no idea why. At least I can now do apt upgrade.
