100% packet loss

I’ve cracked my head on this for a while. I can’t ssh into my banana pi m2 zero(I don’t have a mini-usb cord, I’m trying to boot wirelessly for the first time). I get 100% packet loss every time I try to ping it. I know it connected to the wifi. I’m using this armbian release: https://www.armbian.com/banana-pi-m2-plus/

Here’s what I’ve done:

  1. I made a blank ssh file in /boot
  2. In the sshd_config file I set PermitRootLogin and PasswordAuthentication to yes
  3. I added a before.rules file in etc/ufw/ it has this inside:
# Allow all incoming traffic
-A ufw-before-input -j ACCEPT

# Allow all outgoing traffic
-A ufw-before-output -j ACCEPT

# Allow all forwarded traffic
-A ufw-before-forward -j ACCEPT

# Allow SSH connections
-A ufw-before-input -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

COMMIT
  1. I made sure no other machine is using port 22
  2. sudo systemctl start ssh
  3. When I do nmap , I get:
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2023-01-03 19:25 EST
Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn
