Hi Team,

I am trying to setup wifi network for my raspberry pi.

After this setup:
hciattach /dev/ttyAMA0 bcm43xx 921600
bcm43xx_init
Flash firmware /lib/firmware/BCM43430A1.hcd
Set Controller UART speed to 921600 bit/s
Device setup complete

After hciconfig hci0 up
Hcitool scan shows scanning…

doesn’t show anything.

Kindly suggest.

cheers,
Ashish

Since your first line enables the Bluetooth controller are you trying to
set up a wireless (not wifi) network over Bluetooth?

Hi
The device your trying to connect to via bluetooth is discoverable?

I tested here and works fine…

hciattach /dev/ttyAMA0 bcm43xx 921600
bcm43xx_init
Flash firmware /lib/firmware/BCM43430A1.hcd
Set Controller UART speed to 921600 bit/s
Device setup complete

hciconfig hci0 up

Hi
Are you running the desktop, or just from the command line?

If the desktop, there should be an icon on the panel to click and show
network connections?

Else if using wicked, rather than NetworkManager then this can be
configure via the tool called YaST, then select System and then Network
Settings, here you should see you wireless device and can edit it from
here…

Also note if not using dhcp, you do need to set the hostname/dns
servers and also the default gateway. If not using ipv6, then suggest
disabling from the ‘global’ tab.

I use the command line and yast, in the desktop GUI it’s called YaST2.

Hi Malcolm,

I am using the desktop (GUI) and it is showing “network service disabled” and I am not able to see any option to choose the wireless networks there

Hi
So start up YaST and get to the network settings as indicated above, then in the ‘Global’ tab select the NetworkManager option as opposed to wicked service. I’m guessing in the first tab that opens you see both devices present?

Hi Malcolm,

Yes, I see both the devices in the network tab

However in the GUI it only shows “Network service disabled” there is no icon to make this service enabled.

I am able to connect to the network through wired connection but no icon to enable wifi

Please suggest.

Hi
So if you click onthe tab to the left of ‘overview’ Global Settings, is it wicked or Network Manager, if wicked, select Network Manager, save and check your settings again on the GUI.
