RPi - Could not communicate with wpa_supplicant: error n2 wifi
Raw
rpiwpafix.txt
Solution
I referred to this official forum.
Raspbian Stretch: Wifi not starting on boot – Raspberry Pi Forums
First,
sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces
and, you should write in bottom
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
This will allow wlan at startup. afterwards,
sudo systemctl enable wpa_supplicant.service
restart wpa_supplicant
sudo reboot now
