OMV4, Raspberry Pi 4, no Wifi

Thank you for providing the instructions for enabling Wifi on OMV Rasperry Pi 4 that are working for you.

I want to enable Wifi at my OMV, but before I do that I would like to know the commands to deactivate it, and enable the Ethernet network again. (I understand that both cannot work at the same time)

Anyone so kind to indicate how to revert these changes?

Thank you!

Wifi and Eth0 how to disable

Thank you for pointing to the instructions to disable Wifi.

Now I have tried to enable it, but it doesn't work. I have followed the instructions inicated by the OP, except for point (4) because I have no armbian-config

1) wget https://archive.raspberrypi.or…1_20190114-1+rpt2_all.deb
Result:
Saving to: ‘firmware-brcm80211_20190114-1+rpt2_all.deb’

2) sudo dpkg -i firmware-brcm80211_20190114-1+rpt2_all.deb

Result:

dpkg: warning: downgrading firmware-brcm80211 from 1:20190114-2+rpt3 to 1:20190114-1+rpt2

(Reading database ... 59903 files and directories currently installed.)

3) Reboot the RPi4 and then login remotely, using SSH, to the RPi4 again.

4) Run the utility armbian-config with sudo and configure wifi.

---> There is no armbian-config, so I have used raspi-config to configure Wifi

5) Shut down the RPi4 and remove the ethernet cable.

6) Start the RPi4 but wifi doesn't work

Any advice on the steps to configure Wifi? I have spent a while googling, but I've only found fragmented information

Sorry but as I see this, you messed your installation by following instructions from 2019.

The debs you installed are REALLY outdated and not even needed anymore.

RaspiOS Lite has everything needed.

If you are only starting with the configuration, just start fresh following the guide from here:

installing_omv5_raspberry_pi [omv-extras.org]

These are the steps that I did follow to install OMV, with the only difference that I used Raspberry Pi Imager instead of Etcher to flash OS Light. But Wifi did not work when enabling wlan0 at OMV

I will start again from scratch

It is working now!

Both eth0 and wlan0 working simultaneously without issues.

Besides activating eth0 at OMV, I also had to set the country using raspi-config, otherwise it didn't work

OMV Network Settings allows to set the SSID and Password, but not the country.

Thank you for your support!

And I am sorry for necromancing a post that was related to an older version of OMV. I didn't noticed that detail

I also had to set the country using raspi-config

When flashing and booting for the first time the Pi, the WiFi is blocked by rfkill until you set the Country on raspi-config.

There was a way to bypass it, using a wpa_supplicant.conf on the /boot partition/folder but it's not working properly anymore. (or maybe depends on the WiFi that you're connecting)

WiFi is currently blocked by rfkill on fresh install even with wpa_suplicant.conf : raspberry_pi (reddit.com)

I tested it a few days ago (on a test Pi4), and it fails to create the WiFi. with a wpa_supplicant.conf like this:

Source

[wpa_supplicant.conf]
country=NL
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
scan_ssid=1
ssid="network name"
psk="router password"
}

WiFi is currently blocked by rfkill on fresh install even with wpa_suplicant.conf : raspberry_pi (reddit.com)

Only after you configure it on raspi-config, it becomes available.

If you have it working now, great,
