Interface wifix not configured.

[mutyalaraoneela]

Hi All,

   I have inserted my driver on the imx platfrom, and it creates on virutal interface named "wifiX", after creating it, I want to down/up the interface (ie..ifconfig wifiX down/ifconfig wifiX up), when I execute the above commands it is giving the error "interface wifiX not configured". Do I need to mention any thing in /etc/network/interfaces.

OS : ubuntu

platform: imx6

Please suggest me how to proceed.

Thanks and Regards,

Mutyalarao.

Hi Igor,

Thanks for the reply.

I have gone through the video which was provided by you, But the video describes how to connect to wifi from the GUI.

But I am facing the issue from command line. for example if we take "eth0" as my network interface, if I execute the commands ifconfig eth0 down/up  result will down and up the interface according to the command given, Similarly in my case I am creating one virtual interface "wifi0" like "eth0", Now if I execute the command ifconfig wifi0 down/up it is giving the error "interface wifi0 not configured".

Please help me to resolve this.

Thanks and Regards,

Mutyalarao.

Hi Mutyalarao

this was just example, procedure may be different for different wifi modules,

suggest to apply to this module vendor for detailed procedure.
