[fedora-arm] Fedora-Server-armhfp-26-1.5-sda nmcli wili problems

[Robert Moskowitz]

I took my F26 cubieboard to a hackathon where all they have here is
wireless.

So I put in a wifi usb dongle and see wlan0 available:

# nmcli device status

DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION

eth0 ethernet unavailable --

lo loopback unmanaged --

wlan0 wifi unmanaged --


I create a connection:

nmcli con add con-name cobo ifname wlan0 type wifi ssid CoboFree

(CoboFree is the SSID I am using here on my notebook)

# nmcli connection show

NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE

cobo d9e7a648-0d48-4353-856f-7c3a3dd3db3b 802-11-wireless --

eth0 9699134e-a93c-32fb-b518-a0dc17cc78a3 802-3-ethernet --



I then try to bring the connection up:

# nmcli con up cobo
Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this
connection.

nmcli device wifi list

is an empty list

What am I missing here. I have used mncli on other builds in the past.
This is my first try with this image.

thanks

Bob

Is this with minimal server? Perhaps I am missing something?

I really think there is something wrong/missing with this F26 minimal
server for wifi support.

With my F26-Xfce image:

# nmcli dev status
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
eth0 ethernet connected Wired connection 1
wlan0 wifi disconnected --
lo loopback unmanaged --
[***@cubie2 ~]# nmcli device wifi list
* SSID MODE CHAN RATE SIGNAL BARS SECURITY
HTTNET Infra 11 54 Mbit/s 100 ▂▄▆█ WPA2

Then I put in my Centos7-arm image:

# nmcli dev status
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
eth0 ethernet connected eth0
wlan0 wifi disconnected --
lo loopback unmanaged --
[***@z9m9z ~]# nmcli device wifi list
* SSID MODE CHAN RATE SIGNAL BARS SECURITY
HTTNET Infra 11 54 Mbit/s 100 **** WPA2

So it is not the hardware. It is the server minimal image. What do I
need to add to it?

thanks

Peter,

I just put down a fresh image:

fedora-arm-image-installer
--image=/home/rgm/arm/Fedora-Server-armhfp-26-1.5-sda.raw.xz
--target=Cubieboard2 --media=/dev/sdb --norootpass --selinux=ON --addconsole

booted up via a USBTTY dongle, set the timezone, hostname, and root
password. Continued and logged in.

No dnf update. This is the software levels shipped.

After logging in, inserted the wifi USB dongle and and same bad
results. So I believe there is some key component missing for wifi
support via nmcli in the minimal server. It works just fine with the
F26-Xfce image and the Centos7-arm image.

So please give me some idea of what may be missing. I am happy to test
installing and getting this working. In fact I really NEED to get this
working by Nov 5 when I leave for pre-IETF travel...

thanks

Bob

Peter,
fedora-arm-image-installer
--image=/home/rgm/arm/Fedora-Server-armhfp-26-1.5-sda.raw.xz
--target=Cubieboard2 --media=/dev/sdb --norootpass --selinux=ON --addconsole
booted up via a USBTTY dongle, set the timezone, hostname, and root
password. Continued and logged in.
No dnf update. This is the software levels shipped.
After logging in, inserted the wifi USB dongle and and same bad results. So

What make/model/chipset/driver? You need to provide more information
that "usb dongle"

I believe there is some key component missing for wifi support via nmcli in

There isn't, I use it literally on dozens of different ARM devices
exactly as you define above, there might well be with your specific
version USB dongle but it's not generally got an issue.

I don't see what the travel has to do with this bug report
