configuring wireless connections from the local device

charleskelly

Ok, so I've done a little dig around and can't find what I'm looking for so I'll post it here. Apoligies if there is already a thread on this.

I want to use rune audio exactly as intended, use it as a headless player to be controlled from my various devices. How ever, when it came to configuring it, I want to configure it to run on my wireless network instead of through my Ethernet ports. As far as i understand you first have to get it connected to ethernet to access the runeaudio.local then you can configure wifi settings from there. My question is however, is there a way to configure wifi WITHOUT doing this. So from the pi its self basically. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Hi ,

you cant try this:
- copy a profile from the example folder

cp /etc/netctl/examples/wireless-wpa /etc/netctl/yourprofilename

- change the profile to your needs (SSID and key)

nano /etc/netctl/yourprofilename

- start the profile

netctl start yourprofilename

- if the above works, enable it as service.

netctl enable yourprofilename
