I am successfully using an Edimax WLAN USB stick which I have manually configured by editing etc/network/interfaces
to use a static IP address; everything works as expected (other computers can be pinged, other computers can ping the Raspberry Pi, webbrowsing works), but the GUI indicates "No wireless interfaces found". Does anyone have an idea what this means?
I am using a Raspberry Pi 2 with Raspbian Stretch. I edited the file
/etc/network/interfaces
to contain the following non-comment lines.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug wlan0
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address {some address}
netmask {some netmask}
gateway {some gateway}
dns-nameservers {some nameserver}
wpa-ssid {some wlan network name}
wpa-psk {some key}
