I have been trying to learn about configuring my access point but I just can’t
look my /etc/network/interfaces
This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
The primary network interface
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
Example to keep MAC address between reboots
#hwaddress ether DE:AD:BE:EF:CA:FE
The secondary network interface
#auto eth1
#iface eth1 inet dhcp
WiFi Example
#auto wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid “essid”
wpa-psk “password”
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid “AXTEL-2162”
wpa-psk “0804D82162”
Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether)
… or on host side, usbnet and random hwaddr
Note on some boards, usb0 is automaticly setup with an init script
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.7.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.7.0
gateway 192.168.7.1
and with this, I got this
ra0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 7c:dd:90:57:f8:d3
inet6 addr: fe80::7edd:90ff:fe57:f8d3/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:230 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:98 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:23448 (22.8 KiB) TX bytes:10192 (9.9 KiB)
Why does my beaglebone black does not recognize the ipv4 address?
I can’t access internet with my wifi adapter
Help me please! I beg!!
If your adapater called ra0
You should replace wlan0 with ra0 in your config file
Thank you liyaoshi!
It’s true, ra0 is the device,
Now I’ve modified it:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid “AXTEL-2162”
wpa-psk “0804D82162”
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.7.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.7.0
gateway 192.168.7.1
and I get this with ifconfig:

but when I do ping to www.google.com it does not work.
