Does Intel NUC Wifi chip works with resin-wifi-connect?

Product support
1

Resin OS = 2.0.0+rev3
Device type = Resin NUC
resin-wifi-connect v2.0.0

I am trying to use resin-wifi-connect with the Intel NUC Wifi chip Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165. Unfortunately, when starting wifi-connect app, I get the following error:

12.05.17 11:39:18 (+0200) Device type is intel-nuc
12.05.17 11:39:18 (+0200) Using connman.service
12.05.17 11:39:18 (+0200) Error: org.freedesktop.systemd1.NoSuchUnit
12.05.17 11:39:18 (+0200)     at Error (native)

Is this chip supposed to work with resin-wifi-connect ?

:speech_balloon:It looks like it is trying to use connman. resinOS 2.0.0 images are supposed to use NetworkManager. Can you please run systemctl list-unit-files --type=service and post the output here?

Note that I am running cups but I make sure to stop cups server running on port 80 before starting wifi-connect app

:speech_balloon:Is your device connected? If so, can you provide a link to the device on the resin dashboard?

11

Yes I just ping you on the private chat with the url of the device

22

:speech_balloon:Hi Benoit, we fixed one issue, but it is still not working. Can you please leave the device connected so we can investigate further later today ?

23

Yes no problem I will leave the device connected all day long

24

Hi @alexis, did you have the time to investigate further regarding this issue ?
Best

26

:speech_balloon:Hello Benoit. My colleague who was investigating the issue is on leave today. I don’t know if he’s found a solution. We’ll keep you informed.

27

Sure

28

:speech_balloon:Benoit, the issue is not fixed yet. You can follow the progress here: https://github.com/resin-os/meta-resin/issues/671 .

29

hi @alexis, ok I will follow the progress on the github issue.
Is there any chance resin-wifi-connect might work with conman instead of network manager ? Maybe if I use resin supervisor 1.24.0 ?

30

@benoitguigal it should work since it’s backwards compatible, but I strongly suggest to use 1.26+ or, even better, 2+ since the fix is coming :slight_smile:

31

Check the interface names in the terminal using ifconfig (if you’re using the Linux image), then in the Wifi-Connect config file change “wlan0” to the new interface ( mine was ‘wlp58s0’) I have Intel NUC running resin Wifi-Connect flawlessly.

iface: process.env.PORTAL_INTERFACE or ‘wlan0’

change to

iface: process.env.PORTAL_INTERFACE or ‘wlp58s0’

32

I think you’re right, I had assumed that systemctl list-unit-files --type=service would list NetworkManager but actually this has never been the case. We can probably improve upon the interface selection to make it automatic which should avoid issues like this in the future.

Instead of changing the code you can set an environment variable on the dashboard named PORTAL_INTERFACE, setting the value to wlp58s0 (or whichever interface is returned by ifconfig)

Hello @joe, I will try this fix tomorrow and keep you posted. Thank you for the support.

34

I set PORTAL_INTERFACE to wlp2s0 (which is what ifconfig gives me) on Resin OS 2.0.0+rev3 but I still get the error:

Did I miss something ?

35

Hey,

Did you make any changes to resin-wifi-connect? Can you try increasing the timeout here to around 10 seconds and see if that helps?

36

Yes indeed I made some changes to resin-wifi-connect. In order to rule out this option, I changed my code to use version 2.0.7 of resin-io/resin-wifi-connect. I increased the timeout to 15, but now I am getting the introspection error:
