The network interface also didn't seem have dhcp, so I got no IP form that device. But although the Pi showed up as a new network interface that I was able to connect to, I was not able to resolve raspberrypi.local. So I followed this guide to be able to ssh into the Pi over USB. Since I don't have an HDMI monitor, I need to be able to ssh into the device.I followed the official instructions on how to flash the img to a Micro SD card.If you have another Pi already configured for wireless you can copy the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_nf to your Pi0W card (and save a copy on your main PC that you use to write images to cards).My image: -raspbian-stretch-lite from here Worked for me, which indicates something may be wrong with your wpa_nf file (or you didn't wait long enough).

Safely ejected the card and put it into my Pi0W, then fired it up. Wrote -raspbian-buster.zip to a 16GB Samsung EVO+ card with Etcher.Ĭopied my pre-configured wpa_nf file to the 'boot' partition of the card and created an empty ssh.txt file.

It occurred to me that I haven't tried Buster on my Pi0W yet (that I recall), so I gave it a try.
