Home Assistant OS on old laptop (wifi)

[slow]

Hi,

I have installed Home Assistant OS (Generic x86-64) on an old laptop. The laptop does’nt have a ethernet port so I would like to enable wifi.

But when I boot the computer it start Home Assistant CLI and I cant do anything to setup wifi on it. Is there a way to exit Home Assistant CLI? If I write the command exit it reboots and go into the CLI again.

Or can I enable wifi some other way?

Best regards, Patrik

Lost Access to HA - Change IP

Format a USB Stick (FAT32) with volume name CONFIG Create a folder named network in the root dir In that folder create a file named my-network WITHOUT EXTENTION Edit the ‘my-network’ file with notepad using this format. Plug the USB stick into the Raspberry Pi 3 BEFORE powering on Power on the Pi and it should import the setting

What about internal wifi in a laptop?

I mean not in a raspberry but a normal laptop (surface pro in this case)
Do this trick will work?
Any other workaround, maybe with a linux liveUSB to install wifi drivers?

The docs don’t mention anything about the hardware, it is just about the Manual Network Configuration within HAOS…
