Banana Pi Pro – WLAN configuration

Add ‘ap6210‘ to /etc/modules to enable WiFi, and use modprobe ap6210 to force load the module.

Check dmesg to see if all has been loaded correctly. If not, reboot and check again.

dmesg|grep WLAN

Install the required packages:

apt-get install wireless-tools iw wpasupplicant

Modify /etc/network/interfaces

# Dinamic IP:
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-scan-ssid 1
wpa-ssid "WIFI_NETWORK_NAME"
wpa-psk "WLAN-KEY"

# Static IP:
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.xx.yy
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-scan-ssid 1
wpa-ssid "WIFI_NETWORK_NAME"
wpa-psk "WLAN-KEY"

Bring the interface up:

ifconfig wlan0 up
