If you need to configure a wireless connection to your board but don’t want to wire it to your router (because you are lazy like me), you can connect it directly to your computer with an Ethernet cableĀ and SSH it:
Connect the board to your computer with an Ethernet cable
Open the terminal and execute
nm-connection-editor
Go to the Wire Connection Settings > IPv4 Settings
change Method to “Shared to other computers”, and save it
Now open the terminal and run
cat /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases
You will get the board IP there:
With this IP you can SSH the board and configure the wireless connection, in my case using tools likeĀ nmtui or armbian-config
