tinc 1.0.19 worked fine on Raspberry Pi as long as my Pi was connected via ethernet cable. Today i changed the connection to wlan. Pi crashed. worse, it was no longer operational, even if connected via cable. recovery from backup before tinc was installed (yes, i had a backup ;) tried again. installed tinc: worked as long as connected via cable. crash after connecting via wlan. no longer usable. result so far: never run tinc on rasp with wlan enabled. new problem discovered? with regards - sven

Even then, it's recommended to run the wireless network dongle from a separate, powered USB hub. If the power usage is too high, even for a short amount of time, the voltage can drop below levels that are needed for the CPU and the SD card to work reliably. This is the most likely explaination for the crashes you got. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <guus at tinc-vpn.org> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hello Sven, what WLAN adapter are you using? And how does this relate to WPA GUI?
