I am trying to use the JetPack 3.2 installer with a TX2 over wireless since my host does not have an ethernet port. I have some hope that it is possible, despite the views on the forums, based on the logic that a local network connection is used to transfer the files and thus should not need to know if wifi or wired option is used. I found one thread where it sounds like an expert admits it might be possible, but not recommended.
…It may work then, but is not as reliable over wireless.

My goal is to only install the “drivers” because the CUDA samples on the TX2 are complaining that no driver could be detected. The fact that the CUDA 9 Samples are on the device shows I was able to install some content with a wireless connection. I am hoping someone can understand the logs (I wish I could attach to this message). I noticed some "/dev/null"s but I’m not sure if the log is from only the most recent attempt or all attempts and I ran Jetpack several times, getting further sometimes.
I avoided a flash on this device, and thus did not connect the USB data cable, because I am gunshy after I put a different TX2 device in an unusable state (another thread coming) when attempting to use a different host to flash that device.
I cannot include the logs. If I try, the site is broken. I tried to paste the contents of the log since I cannot find a button to attach a document to the post.
