anjalirani Posts: 25 Rating: (1)	Hii Bergmanu, I am working with 2040 and m SD card contains image version 2.1.3. In the iot2000setup there is no option available for wlan0... So i have followed the steps given by peter oakes in the comment session available in the following link.(screen shot is attached) https://www.rs-online.com/designspark/simatic-iot2020--the-educational-intelligent-gateway-for-industrial-iot-solutions I am getting errors once the last command, '/etc/init.d/networking restart' is given I am totally stuck with my work. Expecting your valuable advice in this regard.. Attachment steps-screenshot.png (3019 Downloads)

anjalirani Posts: 25 Rating: (1)	Hii Bergmanu, Under iot2000setup tool (v2.1.3) , for configuring network interfaces, i am having option for eth0 alone.. I tried the same with v2.1.2.. In that in addition to eth0, eth1 is also available. but wlan0 is missing. Screenshot is attached. What is the mistake i am doing.. Can you please tell the version with which you have proved the same. Attachment iot2000setup.png (2435 Downloads)

anjalirani Posts: 25 Rating: (1)	Hii Bergmanu, I have copied it to /lib/firmware .... I again started with a fresh image of v2.1.3 and i followed all the steps given in wifi-usb pdf . Then I got wlan0 in the network configurations. I even connected 2040 with wifi. However once i installed the serial package in python for reading data from serial port, wifi connection was suddenly lost. Is there any connection between pyserial package and wifi connectivity.
