Initramfs + wireless not working - Raspberry Pi Forums

hi! have managed build full disk encrypted raspbian pi3, following guide: https://github.com/fpunktk/raspi-fde
initram uses dropbear receive credentials , decrypts crypted partition, starting os. works, @ least if use ethernet connection while booting (wifi works after os started).

however, if unplug cable before powering-up, relying on wireless, cannot make wifi work. want pi encrypted , not cable reliant.

in initramfs, i've copied wpa_supplicant , loaded modules. don't know missing, expert user required here. configuration files.

build initram via command:

code: select all

sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initramfs2.gz $(uname -r)

boot entry in /boot/config.txt is:

code: select all

initramfs initramfs2.gz followkernel

/boot/cmdline.txt:

code: select all

dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mapper/crypted cryptdevice=/dev/mmcblk0p2:crypted ip=:::::eth0:dhcp rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait

wlan files above have execution permission.

hi sky92,
basic questions installation:
- did have error message displayed during boot process ?
- wifi working outside initramfs (after decrypt main partition) ?
- did add required modules wifi adapter ?
- reasons add ip=:::::eth0:dhcp in cmdline.txt ?
