Raspberry Pi - WiFi dongle en instellingen

De Raspberry Pi (model B) heeft een vaste LAN connectie, uiteraard kun je ook een WiFi dongle via een USB poort er op aansluiten, de Raspberry Pi kan goed omgaan met Realtek chipsets, deze worden veelal out-of-the-box ondersteund! op deze website kun je een lijst vinden van werkende en niet werkende WiFi adapters voor de Raspberry Pi.

Let op: Sommige WiFi dongles trekken zoveel vermogen dat direct aansluiten op de Raspberry Pi niet aanbevolen is!, sluit deze daarom aan via een gevoede USB hub!

Nadat je een WiFi USB dongle hebt aangesloten, tik het volgende commando in: sudo ifconfig

Dit geeft een lijstje met je netwerk gegevens:

eth0 – de ingebouwde ethernet poort (LAN)
lo – de loopback device
wlan0 – de draadloze adapter.

Als je wlan0 in het lijstje ziet staan, is je WiFi adapter herkent, nu kunnen we deze configureren, we behandelen hier alleen de “commandline set up” (dus niet via de desktop (grafische) omgeving)

Ps. normaliter is op de meeste besturingssystemen van de Raspberry Pi al het nodige geïnstalleerd voor (draadloze) netwerk configuratie, mocht dit niet zo zijn, dan kunnen deze “tools” alsnog geïnstalleerd worden met het volgende commando: sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant wireless-tools

Je kan ook nog Ralink firmware installeren met het volgende commando: sudo apt-get install firmware-ralink

De algemene netwerk instellingen zijn te vinden in het configuratiebestand /etc/network/interfaces
De WiFi instellingen en details staan in het configuratiebestand: /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Open het netwerk configuratiebestand voor bewerken met het commando: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Het volgende moet dan staan onder het stukje voor wlan0:

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0

iface wlan0 inet manual

wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

iface default inet dhcp

Druk nu op CTRL+O (writeout) en dan op ENTER op het bestand op te slaan, dan vervolgens CTRL+X om nano af te sluiten.

Om een lijst te krijgen van de aanwezige netwerken voer het volgende commando uit: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
Dit kan (te) veel informatie opleveren je kan het grep commando gebruiken om de informatie te folteren, bijvoorbeeld met het commando: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | grep ESSID

Selecteer een netwerk, we gaan nu de autorisatie gegevens toevoegen aan het bestand wpa_supplicant.conf doormiddel van het commando:

sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

De eerste 2 lijnen moeten het volgende weergeven:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

1 2	ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1

Voeg daar het volgende aan toe:

network={
        ssid="YourSSID"
        psk="password"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

network={

ssid="YourSSID"

psk="password"

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

}

Als je nog de oude WEP encryptie gebruikt voeg dan het volgende toe (in plaats van het bovenstaande):

network={
        ssid="YourSSID"
        wep_key0="password12345"
        key_mgmt=NONE
}

network={

ssid="YourSSID"

wep_key0="password12345"

key_mgmt=NONE

}

Druk nu op CTRL+O (writeout) en dan op ENTER op het bestand op te slaan, dan vervolgens CTRL+X om nano af te sluiten.

Geavanceerde WiFi instellingen

In het configuratiebestand kun je meerdere additionele velden instellen zoals:

proto = Protocol: RSN (voor WPA2), WPA (voor WPA1)
pairwise = CCMP (voor WPA2 (oftewel AES)), TKIP (voor WPA1)
auth_alg = Authenticatie algoritme: OPEN (voor WPA1 en WPa2), minder wordt gebruikt: SHARED of LEAP
scan_ssid=1 (verbinden met een netwerk dat geen SSID uitzend!)

Een voorbeeld hoe het configuratiebestand eruit kan komen te zien:

Let op: er zijn vele commando’s bekend om het netwerk op de Rasberry Pi te herstarten, echter zorgen deze ervoor dat de Raspberry Pi crasht:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
sudo service networking restart
sudo ifdown wlan0 && sudo ifup wlan0

Aanbevolen is om de Raspberry Pi te rebooten met het volgende commando: sudo reboot

Nadat je Raspberry Pi opnieuw is opgestart, kun je kijken of je WiFi USB dongle een IP adres heeft gekregen van je router, dit kan met het volgende commando: sudo ifconfig

WiFi USB 1.1 adapters

Adapter met een oudere protocol kunnen niet goed werken op de USB 2.0 poorten van de Raspberry Pi, lees deze pagina om de USB poorten van de raspberry pi op USB 1.1 te zetten.

Mijn Wifi dongle maakt geen verbinding met mijn router

Ook ik had alles goed ingesteld maar mijn wifi dongle weigerde contact te maken met mijn router ondanks dat ik alles zoals hierboven beschreven staat goed had ingesteld!

Er is een manier om het configuratiebestand /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf niet te gebruiken, door de gegevens rechtstreeks in /etc/network/interfaces te zetten, comment de regel met “wpa-roam” en voeg 2 nieuwe regels toe:

wpa_ssid SSID
wpa_psk WACHTWOORD

1 2	wpa_ssid SSID wpa_psk WACHTWOORD

Voorbeeld:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
#wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa_ssid SSID
wpa_psk WACHTWOORD
iface default inet dhcp

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp

#wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

wpa_ssid SSID

wpa_psk WACHTWOORD

iface default inet dhcp

Reboot de Raspberry Pi met het commando: sudo reboot

Uitval voorkomen met WiFi adapters

Veelal kunnen WiFi dongles uitvallen, de reden is veelal onbekend, na veel zoeken op internet kan dat te maken hebben met “power management” of niet goed werkende firmware.
Om WiFi stabiliteit te verbeteren kun je “power management” uitzetten door het configuratiebestand /etc/network/interfaces te bewerken met het commando sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces en deze lijn aan het wlan0 gedeelte toe te voegen:

wireless-power off

1	wireless-power off

De configuratie kan er dan zo uit zien:

UPDATE 2015-02-08:
“Powersavings” uitzetten voor de nieuw firmware:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf

voeg het volgende toe aan het bestand:

options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0

Druk nu op CTRL+O (writeout) en dan op ENTER op het bestand op te slaan, dan vervolgens CTRL+X om nano af te sluiten.
Reboot de Raspberry Pi met het volgende commando: sudo reboot

Alfa
AWUS036NHA (Vendor ID: 0cf3, Product ID: 9271) - Tested with Raspbian. Works fine if connected after boot. Kills boot process if previously attached. Details here.

D-Link
( DWA-131 (rev. B1) ) - Works now on Raspbian's kernel 3.6.11+ or with DLink firmware: http://tsd.dlink.com.tw/
DWL-G132 - In archlinux it is recognized - lsusb: 2001:3a03 D-Link Corp. DWL-G132 (no firmware) [Atheros AR5523] - but no wlan0 device is created - perhaps it needs the firmware to be loaded

Edimax
EW-7811Un (Vendor ID: 7397, Product ID: 7811) - Reports as containing the Realtek RTL8188CUS chipset listed below, no lockup or kernel oops under Wheezy, but dmesg reports constant timeouts trying to initialize the module. This appears to be resolved on 2012-09-18-Wheezy-raspbian and newer versions. EW-7811Un causes sporadic USB Issues when used together with steelseries 6G keyboard (repeated keys, possible file system corruption)
EW-7811Un (Vendor ID: 7397, Product ID: 7811) - There have been issues with receiving UDP multicast packages in combination with most (not all) wireless routers. Nearly impossible to debug, since running a sniffer on the Pi makes everything work as expected.
EW-7811Un It doesn't support Access Point and you can't use it for hostapd.

Linksys
WUSB300N (Vendor ID: 13B1, Product ID: 0029) - Tested with Raspbian, OpenELEC, among others. No Linux chipset support for Marvell 88W8362 at all.
