wlan ap

[hegge]

Hi,

after I had trouble running wondershaper with wheezy I tried the jessie img for my Lomobo. With this I can't get AP mode running: hostapd-rt /etc/hostapd.conf-rt (which should be correct for the onboard RTL8192CU chip) gives me:

Line10: invalid/unknown driver 'rtl871xdrv'

With the non rtl hostapd.conf the driver intitalization fails. 

Can someone help me pls?!

Thanks in advance,

hegge

We just made an update, hostapd is also new, driver changes - possible, probably not, would need to look. Try in this order:

 

Use old hostapd binary:

https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/bin/hostapd25-rt.tgz

 

Try other driver with stock and this hostapd.
 

Edit:

And try to use kernel 4.5.2 rather, probably that driver is better.

Tyvm master igor for the fast reply. The linked hostapd works but after I can't connect to it I tried to use the other driver with:

make ARCH=arm

sudo make install

 

After reboot i get 3

[FAILED] Failed to start Load kernel Modules

and a

[DEPEND] Dependency failed for netfilter persistent configuration.

after the first one.

When it's ready, lsmod shows that 8192cu is loaded - and modinfo 8192cu shows version 3.3.2 and driver file is in the ...wireless/rtl8192cu/ directory instead of ...wireless/ where the compiled driver is. That one should be blacklisted, or?!

The bridged LAN ports also doesnt work anymore...

 

When I want to use kernel 4.5.2 I have to switch to vanilla with

wget -q -O - http://upgrade.armbian.com | bash

right?

Thank you so much again...

OK, will need to look more into this. This chipset is anyway poor quality but I guess this is not the case here.

Latest version is not yet in repository - only on as image ... in a day / two if no major problems arise should be available. It's possible to use this tool but not best since it does not give you latest boot script. Rather check this page http://www.armbian.com/kernel/to understand naming and install manually.

Hi,

I just want to report back: I installed the vanilla version and now all works fine. 

Thank you very very much again,
