==========
WiFi Reset Service
==================
Systemd service to reset (ifdown & ifup) all wireless interfaces on boot. Greatly improves reliability of wifi adapters on the BeagleBone Black's Debian OS with 3.8 kernel.
Installation
============
This *must* be run on a BeagleBone Black running the Debian operating system. Get the latest image from: http://beagleboard.org/latest-images
Next make sure you've upgraded to the latest kernel available by executing once (be sure you device has internet access first):
````
cd /opt/scripts/tools/
./update_kernel.sh
````
Once the kernel has updated and the device restarted, install the service by entering the directory where this repository was cloned and executing:
````
./install.sh
````
You should see the following response:
````
Installing wifi reset service to /opt/wifi-reset.
Installing systemd service to run at boot.
Enabling systemd service.
````
That's it! On boot the service will reset (run ifdown and ifup) all wifi interfaces.
If you'd ever like to disable the service, run the command:
````
systemctl disable wifi-reset.service
````
