NanoPi Neo WiFi Issue

Post by K9JTV »

I have built and sold several Raspberry based Pi-star systems but have never ran into this problem. I bought a pre-configured NanoPi Neo w/MMDVM hat and got it up and running with no problems. So I decided, what the heck, I'll buy the NanoPi Neo, MMDVM Hat and .96 OLED display and build one myself. I am using a USB WiFi receiver (just like the pre-configured one, I have actually tried two different ones) but can only get the Neo to connect to my router hard wired. It won't connect at all by WiFi. I have put the wpa_supplicant.conf file in the root of the SD card, but it never connects. Just for giggles, I flashed the SD card with the latest Ambian OS for the Neo and WiFi worked fine, so I know it's not a hardware issue. I even tried using the Neo Air image to no avail.

Does anyone have any idea why I can't get WiFi to work with the PiStar image?

TIA,
