Configure Static wlan0 IP in Archlinux distribution

Adriano,

I am not sure what is going on with your install.

As a correction to your post so that there is no misinformation or confusion.

There is no link on the allstarlink.org site to download the HV archlinux package. I am kind of scratching my head at that comment.

The only download links provided on the allstarlink.org webpage are for open source software.

Hello all,

So I have looked high and low for how to configure a STATIC IP address on my allstarlink node.
Many describe the package provided by hamvoip as a totally separate package, but, if you click on the download link on the allstarlink.org it downloads the hamvoip.org archlinux package with of course allstarlinkl config files and scripts.

My biggest challenge has been to find “decent” how to(s) for archlinux allstar link node configs…seen the archlinux config docs do not appear to apply in our evironment;
For example in the archlinux wiki one goes to /etc/netctl and creates (in my case) a wlan0 config file and in it place the static parameter for the interface and then the desired IP address based on ones router subnet definition.
My downloaded package is for a Raspberry Pi install.
But in the allstarlink distribution this does not appear to be possible and the menu interface that is presented after the node is loged into has a method to configure a ether static, but not a Wlan static.

How and where is the config file for a wlan device configured? In the supplicant the WiFi info is recorded…is that where the “static” parameter and IP need to be placed?
Where can one find instructions on WiFi device configuration for these builds.

Many thanks to a proper pointer on where to read or how to accomplish this feat.

Thanks
Adriano (KV7D)
