Following the guide at https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md, I successfully got my Raspberry Pi 3 running a near stock Raspbian Stretch Lite connected to my wireless network. Copying /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and running wpa_cli -i wlan0 reconfigure, I repeated this on my Raspbery Pi 2 using a USB Wi-Fi dongle without any effort. Now, I'm trying to repeat this on a desktop that has Wi-Fi onboard with much less success. I installed wpasupplicant and wireless-tools via Aptitude, copied over the wpa_supplicant.conf file, and ran wpa_cli -i wlan0 reconfigure to recieve the following error message: Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wlan0 error: No such file or directory And running iwconfig produces the following output: wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Neither of which is all that helpful, especially since the above mentioned successes with Raspberry Pis are the only successes I've ever had connecting a Linux machine to a wireless network. So, any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? -- Sincerely, Jeffery Wright President Emeritus, Nu Nu Chapter, Phi Theta Kappa.
