recently I got my WiFi connection running for my home network. Next step was to improve my script and make it possible to access multiple WiFi networks without always changing my /etc/network/interfaces. Also I want all to have a static IP for each of these networks. Therefore I changed my code quiet a bit.
As a role model served the best rated answer of an older post (wifi setup for multiple networks)an older post (wifi setup for multiple networks). It seemed to be quiet sweet, due to I'm just starting using the Raspberry and in consequence of my researches, I was able to understand there everything.
So I did the following:
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid="SCHOOLS NETWORK NAME"
psk="SCHOOLS PASSWORD"
id_str="school"
}
network={
ssid="HOME NETWORK NAME"
psk="HOME PASSWORD"
id_str="home"
}
/etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface school inet static
address static.school.address
gateway school.gateway.address
netmask school.netmask.address
iface home inet static
address static.home.address
gateway home.gateway.address
netmask home.netmask.address
I searched a lot of posts and googled and tried now for a couple of hours (if not even days) but didn't find a solution. My first guess was that the whitespaces in my SSID cause problems, but therefore I use " " (also tried using ' '). Same with my password, where a # appears, but I hope I solved that problem by simply having the PW/SSID in quotation marks. I didn't really find a solution for my problem, but I'm sure some of you can help me. Thanks in advance
