Wireless Access to Odroid C0

I just got an Odroid CO and loaded the Rune image for the Odroid C1. The C0 has no LAN port, so I am trying to get access through Wifi, much like has been done with the PiZero.

I created a profile in /etc/netctl/ named for my network with the following code:

Code: Select all
Description='wlan0 connection'
Interface=wlan0
Connection=wireless
Security=wpa-configsection
AutoWired=yes
ExcludeAuto=no
IP=dhcp
WPAConfigSection=(
    'ssid="MY NETWORK"'
    'psk="MY PASSWORD"'
    'key_mgmt=WPA-PSK'
    'proto=RSN'
    'group=CCMP'
    'pairwise=CCMP'
    'priority=3'
)



I enabled the profile and
Code: Select all
netctl-auto list


showed the name of my profile.

When I entered
Code: Select all
ip addr show


I got the following regarding wireless:
Code: Select all
5:  wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether MAC ADDRESS brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff


I am not really familiar with German keyboard layouts and I am not sure I used the right key for a single quote (').
Could that be the problem?
Or is there something else I need to do?

Thanks very much,
Rod

Hi Rod,

netctl-auto pofiles have to be started with
Code: Select all
systemctl start netctl-auto@wlan0.service


To enable them, so they start at boot:
Code: Select all
systemctl enable netctl-auto@wlan0.service

Thanks, Frank. I will give it a try as soon as I can.

Will the Odroid work with the Edimax WiFi dongle? How about the
Mediatek Ralink RT5370N?

I'm using the Edimax EW-7811Un plugged into an Odroid C1+.

Cheers.
