WPA Supplicant in VMware Workstation\Player

[John Hubler]

Hi

Happy New Year! I have Android 6.0 r3 installed on VMware Workstation. Some apps require WIFI connection to work properly. To work around this, I editted wpa_supplicant.conf under /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf. I put this in:

ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant

ctrl_interface_group=wheel

update_config=1

network={

    ssid="Wired"

    key_mgmt=NONE

}

I did not rename the file. Then in the build.prop, I added:

ro.wifi.channels=eth0

wifi.interface=eth0

Then in the terminal,  I ran:

wpa_supplicant -B -i eth0 -c /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

In the Settings,  however, it will not turn on wifi. Also,  I tried restarting the VM. How can I fix this,  so the wifi will turn on?  

Thank you 

John

Hi

I do not see BoardConfig.mk file. I am using the default file explorer.

Sorry, I feel this is a stupid question.

Should the BoardConfig.mk be there,  since developers\administrators created Android-x86?

Thank you

In our codebase
device/generic/common/BoardConfig.mk
You need to rebuild the image from source.
Read this if you don't understand what it is:

Hi

Thank you for the information. I will rebuild it. By the way, is this project open source? I know AOSP is open source. 

Thank you 

John
