wlan0 fixed at 192.168.50.1

[Kaelum]

What happened

WiFi IP address and network are fixed to 192.168.50.1 and can't be changed.

What did you expect to happen

It should log into my WiFi and obtain an IP address from my DHCP server.

How to reproduce

Go through the normal setup

Additional information

No response

This is incorrect. What you're looking at is the hotspot settings :)

[Kaelum]

Using your configuration tool, I setup my WiFi, and the only related connection that I see is wlan0. For a hard wired LAN connection I see lan0. What should I see for my WiFi?

[miklschmidt]

@Kaelum i'm sorry i don't understand the question. If the wifi settings you entered were correct, wlan0 would be connected to your wifi and not hosting the RatOS hotspot.

[miklschmidt]

You can check the settings written by the RatOS configurator in /boot/ratos-wpa-supplicant.txt

[Kaelum]

Ok, so something was changed to override the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file. The configuration in the /boot/ratos-wpa-supplicant.txt file does not work either. Here is a scrubbed version of what your tool wrote:

network={
        ssid="my-ssid"
        #psk="my-password"
        psk=e12f36ef7e7250c[]snip]1dafea8b19a0
}

@Kaelum did you use raspberry pi imager instead of following the docs?

[Kaelum]

@miklschmidt nope, I followed the docs exactly. I don't have the Raspberry Pi Imager installed on any machine. I did this from my laptop, which has balenaEtcher installed on it.

[miklschmidt]

@Kaelum Could you try on a fresh installation? Because you're the only one that i know of with this issue.

[Kaelum]

@miklschmidt I'll try it in a couple hours, after work, and let you know. I need to backup the changes that I made to the configs, and what I did to setup CAN, before I start.

[miklschmidt]

@Kaelum Awesome, please keep it stock until you've verified if wpa-supplicant is working or not. I suspect the CAN changes might've messed up wpa supplicant.

[Kaelum]

@miklschmidt ok, I did a fresh install, with the CAN board is running over USB, and the exact same thing. wlan0 is not working. It is advertising the RatOS SSID.

[miklschmidt]

Check your router logs, i cannot reproduce it and have no other reports.

[miklschmidt]

Which pi model are you using?

[Kaelum]

Raspberry Pi 4B

Ok, I decided to try a simple installation of the Raspberry Pi OS. I downloaded the Raspberry Pi Imager, flashed a new SD card, started it, fully patched it, and tried setting up the WiFi. It worked w/o any issues. I've wasted too much time on this, so I'm just going to drop it and install the vanilla version of Klipper with all the addons.
