Official Wifi dongle not working

[flowlance]

Hello there :)
I have two Raspberry Pi 2 B’s, and two official wifi dongles (like this).

The problem is that I can’t connect to any network, but it does detect wifi networks nearby. Other wifi dongles, such as the Edimax one, works. Also, the official wifi dongle works in a clean raspbian installation.

The problem happens on both of my pi’s. Is there any solution to this?

Thanks!

You can always try it manually:

You can check the content of

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

It should have your ssid and password there if it worked correctly.

Am interested in the contents of /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf after install. Even if it says it doesn’t connect, if the config is in place it may connect after a reboot or waiting for some minutes. Also interested in contents of “/var/log/wpa_supplicant.log” (or similar named file)

here’s /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
it seems to have the correct info:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
# RETROPIE CONFIG START
network={
        ssid="andersennett"
        psk="*password*"
}
# RETROPIE CONFIG END

Also, after manually editing /etc/network/interfaces, it hangs for a while at boot (see attached image), still does not seem to work
