Hi
I’m new to the forum.
I’ve received my Jetson TX2 development Kit. I’ve run the brand new kit just out of the box without any problem, and connected it to my wifi network.
I decided to install the new JetPack 3.
The installation process was fine, but from that very moment the wireless wlan0 on the Jetson stopped working.
Can you help?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Pierluigi
I’m unable to debug WiFi issues, but you will want to show the output of “iwconfig”.
Thanks for your answer!
$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
dummy0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
Pierluigi,
Have you tried to use NetowrkManager to connect your wifi ap?
Do you see any error message when failed?
Hi Wayne
I can’t see any wlan in my network manager.
if I use the command ifconfig, only eth0 and lo are listed. when I run the command ifconfig -a , dummy0 and wlan0 appear.
I’m quite desperate.
Pierluigi,
Have you tried “sudo ifconfig wlan0 up” ?
sure… I’ve tried it
response is as follows. When I try
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
it says:
sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set
when I run just
ifconfig wlan0 up
it says:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
This might explain a lot:
sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set
It sounds like permissions were not preserved when creating the rootfs image. This would be a big problem for several parts of the system. On the host used for flashing, is the rootfs subdirectory type ext4? If you cd to that “/where/ever/it/is/Linux_for_Tegra/rootfs/” and run “df -H -T .”, does it show ext4? If it is a non-Linux system, e.g., NTFS, then it is guaranteed to fail (the flash will work, but the file system flashed will be invalid…non-Linux file systems can’t preserve Linux permissions).
Pierluigi,
Please reinstall jetpack and try again.
I also have trouble in this problem.

@permy, your issue is likely from a different cause than that of @Pierluigi. In your case you may want to start a new thread; in the case of @Pierluigi, you’ll need to flash again and be careful to use sudo when required if manually running the flash, and also being careful that any kind of VM or other host uses a native Linux file system (e.g., use ext4, never use NTFS, VFAT or HFS).

I had the same issue than Pierluigi and when tried this command, it did work. Thanks !
Pierluigi,
Could you reflash the device with jetpack and try “sudo iw dev wlan0 scan” (if wlan0 is up)
Yes, this thread should be split into two.
Permy, first issue might be the specification of -Dwext as the wireless driver. That is an obsolete driver (from 1997) and is a likely reason for all the ioctl errors. The driver you should probably be specifying is nl80211.
wpa_supplicant -h
…
drivers:
nl80211 = Linux nl80211/cfg80211
wext = Linux wireless extensions (generic)
…
The other issue may be in the wpa_supplicant.conf or somewhere else. There have been issues with quotes in the config file and various other things causing the same error message. See these couple threads for examples:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-921474-start-0.html
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=170353
Pierluigi, I’m just going to repeat what other people said in this thread in a different way.
iwconfig is showing wlan0 so that is there. The “no extensions” is what your system will show even if wifi was working.
when you run ifconfig, wlan0 isn’t showing up unless you use the “-a” option. But it is showing up if you use the -a option. This means the interface is there but it isn’t up.
You executed the command ‘ifconfig wlan0 up’ and it said the operation wasn’t permitted. This is because you weren’t root. Only root can bring the interface up.
You executed ‘sudo ifconfig wlan0 up’ and that should bring it up. But it is saying that /usr/bin/sudo isn’t uid 0 and the suid bit isn’t set. The binary executable /usr/bin/sudo needs to have the sudo bit set and needs to be owned by root. It needs to switch to the root user to do things and for that to work, it needs the suid bit and to be owned by root. Can you do a:
ls -l /usr/bin/sudo
You should get:
-rwsr-xr-x root root /usr/bin/sudo
where the “s” is the sudo bit and the owner is root.
If that isn’t the case, the sudo binary is messed up. Maybe the permissions were changed on it accidentally or the user was changed. But you say this happened right after flashing and that is why linuxdev is asking you about the filesystem type of the device you use to flash. To maintain these types of permissions like suid, root, etc. you need a compatible filesystem and if you flashed from a system that didn’t deal with bits and permissions in the same way, the suid bit and/or user might end up wrong after flashing.
And that is why linuxdev and WayneWWW are recommending reflashing, it seems the permissions on sudo might be wrong (check the ls -l above). See why sudo isn’t working before moving on to the wireless issue. If it the issue is the filesystem on the host device used to flash, you need to fix that before flashing again.
To see if sudo works, you can try a:
sudo bash
and it should give you a root shell that you should be able to do this in:
echo “” > /root_file
rm /root_file
exit
If you aren’t root and you try the above, you’ll get a permission denied.
After this mystery is solved and one the interface is up, it needs to be configured, of course.
