Getting an error when I try and set up the wifi on the Limnenet Portsdown:
"Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wlan0"
wtf?
Seems to be related to the country setting but , but wpa_supplicant.conf file looks right as below:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
##STARTNW
country=GB
network={
ssid="WORKSHOP"
psk=131aae67ca5fa707b9169e5aeea196d1e85742f16c8aabb012c5f5d8ff4d9283
}
##ENDNW

Re: Limenet micro - wifierror
I dug a little deeper in to the PI using
sudo raspi-config
and options 2 Network options
and N2 Wifi
"No wireless interface found"
That's worrying! HELP!

Hi John,
Are you sure the LimeNET micro has a WiFi chip? I was under the impression it didn’t but I don’t know for certain.

Yep! You nailed it!
Just found that out now by looking at the BOM resistors.
The clue should have been the lack of an antenna connector, but I wrongly assumed there was an on-board one!
What a twit!

If you really need WiFi it would probably work with a USB dongle.
