WIFI

3DV-EdgeAI-32 supports Wi-Fi connectivity. By default, the system's network interface name is wlp5s0.

Viewing network interface information​

To check the current status of the Wi-Fi adapter, use the following command:

ifconfig wlp5s0

Example output:

wlp5s0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        ether 64:82:14:70:8c:2a  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

Where

  • ether — MAC address of the adapter
  • RX/TX packets — number of received and transmitted packets
  • flags — status of the interface (e.g., UP indicates that the interface is enabled)

Connecting to Wi-Fi​

(5) Disable Wi-Fi

nmcli radio wifi off

Creating a Wi-Fi access point (Hotspot)​

To share the internet, you can create a hotspot using nmcli:

sudo nmcli device wifi hotspot ifname wlp5s0 con-name my-hostapt ssid zouxftest7 band bg password 12345678 channel 5

Parameters:

  • con-name — connection name (my-hostapt)
  • ssid — access point name (zouxftest7)
  • band — Wi-Fi band (bg)
  • password — password (12345678)
  • channel — channel number (5)

To enable or disable the access point:

sudo nmcli connection up my-hostapt   # Enable
sudo nmcli connection down my-hostapt # Disable
