[PVE-User] add wifi network interface in proxmox

[Lara S.]

Hi for all!first I want introduce me.I install Proxmox last week and I am a beginnerOn my server I have installed a PCI ethernet, which Proxmox has detected automatically.Then I added a usb wifi card, I installed the drivers necessary for it to work.I got up wlan0 interface and scan wireless networks, but can not see the wifi card in my environment and do not know how to add it.
I have changed wlan0 to eth1 in the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules"
but when I restart the computer to apply the changes are not applied, and I get thewireless interfaces as wlan0. other question is,how I can configure my wifi card to get internet and my ethernet card for my LAN?a greetingthank you very much

On my server I have installed a PCI ethernet, which Proxmox has detected automatically.
Then I added a usb wifi card, I installed the drivers necessary for it to work.
I got up wlan0 interface and scan wireless networks, but can not see the wifi card in my environment and do not know how to add it.

other question is,how I can configure my wifi card to get internet and my ethernet card for my LAN?

thank you very much

Hi Lara,



why you try to change the name of wlan interface? I don’ t think you need to
do that.



If from proxmox web gui you don’ t see the wlan interface go to file
“/etc/network/interfaces” and edit it manualy.



For example should be like this:



…

Iface eth0 inet manual

auto wlan0

Iface wlan0 inet manual

Wpa-ssid your-ssid-here

Wpa-psk your-password.here



Iface vmbr0 inet static

address you.address.here

netmask your.subnet.mask.here

gateway your.gateway.here

bridge_ports wlan0

bridge_stp off

bridge_fd 0



Iface vmbr1 inet static

address your.address.here

netmask your.subnet.mask.here

bridge_ports eth0

bridge_stp off

bridge_fd 0

…



Caution: I never try to configure a wlan interface whit a bridge, you can
try this configuration but I didn’ t know if i twill work.



You can get more information here:
