I'm brand new to server configuration. I'm just a developer, so forgive me if I don't understand what you're talking about, if I haven't posted enough information, or if I don't understand your terminology.
You should know that my SSID is hidden. I have confirmed both the SSID and passkey are correct on a computer that is connected to the network.
What I've done so far:
- Installed Debian (Jessie) to an i386 "server."
- Installed wpa_supplicant.
- Read the "README.modes" file associated with wpa_supplicant
- Attempted to use the non-roaming method by changing my "interface" file in the "network" directory.
My attempt at #4 on that list was guided by this post. I did the following...
- Change the "interface" file permissions.
- Run the "wpa_passphrase" command.
- Copy the hashed PSK to the "interface" file.
My "interface" file now contains...
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-scan-ssid 1
wpa-ssid mySSID
wpa-psk myHashedPSK
I have confirmed that my device is recognized by using "iwconfig" and that it is indeed defined as "wlan0."
The Problem: "ifup wlan0" returns the following...
run-parts: failed to stat component /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant: No such file or directory
Failed to bring up wlan0.
I have navigated to "/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/" and found something there named "wpasupplicant." When I open it in the text editor using "pico" I am greeted with what I assume is a completely empty file.
What is wrong with my configuration, and how do I fix it?
wpa-ssid "mySSID" wpa-psk "myHashedPSK"
,you are missing the double quotes and check again.
