Systemd service to reset (ifdown & ifup) all wireless interfaces on boot. Greatly improves reliability of wifi adapters on the BeagleBone Black's Debian OS with 3.8 kernel.
This must be run on a BeagleBone Black running the Debian operating system. Get the latest image from: http://beagleboard.org/latest-images
Next make sure you've upgraded to the latest kernel available by executing once (be sure you device has internet access first):
cd /opt/scripts/tools/
./update_kernel.sh
Once the kernel has updated and the device restarted, install the service by entering the directory where this repository was cloned and executing:
./install.sh
You should see the following response:
Installing wifi reset service to /opt/wifi-reset.
Installing systemd service to run at boot.
Enabling systemd service.
That's it! On boot the service will reset (run ifdown and ifup) all wifi interfaces.
If you'd ever like to disable the service, run the command:
systemctl disable wifi-reset.service
