Wifi connexion error on raspberry Pi3

1st Official Post

    Hello everybody,

    I've just bought a raspberry PI3.
    I'm trying to setup my wifi access on libreelec, but I get error after having set the password.
    system -> libreelec > connexion

    After this failure I can't see any wifi access. I've to reboot to see it again.

    Here are my infos and tests :

    • Wifi with Raspbian is ok (so I guess the hardware is OK)
    • Wifi with osmc is KO, as with libreelec
    • Some infos about my stuff


    LibreELEC:~ # uname -a
    Linux LibreELEC 4.4.13 #1 SMP Sat Jun 25 04:53:00 BST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

    LibreELEC:~ # dmesg | grep brcm

    I've found some stuff about disable power management,but as we can see it's already disable.

    Any idea or ints ?

    Thanks

    Regards

    options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0 rtw_ips_mode=1

    Hi,

    Thanks for the int, but I can't find .config/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf file.

    Options for the Realtek 8192cu driver won't change a thing on a Broadcom based Wifi chipset.

    Just posting that you get an error without telling what exactly the error message says is quite useless, better yet provide full logs and not only snippets.

    It's a placebo, the settings for a realtek driver won't effect the broadcom driver.
