I have a USB wifi stick and Ubuntu recognizes , and USB works well. The problem is when I try to set my Banana Pi as an access point, then we Ubuntu reported to have root privileges.

Igor Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Check file /etc/default/nodm and change your username with root and reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senad99 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Thank you, now I am the root user, but I have a problem when you create a new WiFi network, have offered to Access Point mode for your USB wifi. My USB wifi is: MAREL High Power WiFi Wireless LAN USB Adapter with 5dB antenna for Raspberry Pi Model B +, B and A, Banana Pi, BeagleBone, etc (300kbit / s, IEEE 802.11b / g / n, WEP / WPA / WPA2 ). Linux recognizes it as Realtek RTL 8191SU WLAN Adapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I don't understand how do you try to achieve that ... in hostapd CLI or within Network manager? You can switch to our beta repository and try if you can make hostapd work with our "armbian-config" (still in making). If wlan is properly recognised (that modules is loaded and firmware present), tool tries both possible hostapd variants and give you option of bridge / NAT network config if probe went o.k.
