wlan0 does not exist with wifi add on
-
When running voxl-wifi and selecting the station mode this is the readout I get:
Configuring...
Cannot find device "wlan0"
Device "wlan0" does not exist.
Cannot find device "wlan0"
Station Mode Configuration succeeded!As expected ifconfig does not have wlan0 in the readout
Additionally the station configuration is not saved.I am on SDK 1.4.1 and trying to use a VOXL 2 USB3.0 / UART Expansion Adapter with the alfa wifi dongle. The wifi dongle does not show up under lsusb. I had an extra expansion adapter and dongle and they did not show up either.
I am beginning to suspect it is a hardware issue as I have tried reflashing the sdk.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this issue? Missing drivers? -

@swickliff Can you post a picture of your setup?

@tom At the moment it is just a voxl with the wifi add on. I was going to add the sensors/esc after troubleshooting this issue.
