I am still having problems with wifi setup on Raspberry Pi Zero. It is the same problem as last time which it manage to resolve with downloading a fresh image. However, I came about the same problem with one of my Pi3 installation two months ago but resolved after a few tries. Now again, I am struggling with the wifi setup for past two days with two Pi0s and with multiple downloads of the e6 image over two PCs. The error on journalctl -xe is as follows:
- Code: Select all
RARe6-Pi0:~ # journalctl -xe

I actually got the wifi up the other day (I was messing about with the Access Point but I could not replicate it again.) But it was missing SMB and the option switch so I re-flash the card. (Only later to find the option toggle for it was moved to a different page. )
All I know is that it has nothing to do with setting it through /boot/wifi or using wifi-menu or the Network option page on the web interface. It has a lot to do with the systemd netctl@xxx process exiting on error code. The above error has always been the case since RuneAudio+Re4.
And yes, I did managed to get wired connection up using a USB hub and a USB LAN adapter.
Here's more info:
