Hello all.
I'm having a banana Pi and two days ago I had bananian OS on it. Now after searching online I decided to install armbian because it seems the most updated and more user-friendly one.
One of the things that I want to do with my Pi, is to create an AP and connect other devices to it. So I read the documentation that is online from armbian site that refers on
A. How to build a wireless driver?
B. How to set wireless access point?
Started with the A. and following all the steps, I realized that the 8192cu.ko module was already installed and loaded because when I tried to load it with insmod command it returned me:
So I continued with the B. article.
I cloned the suggested repository and run the go.sh script. After everything was done I had two files called :
I chose to install (dpkg -i) the second one (realtek) because that's what my usb dongle needs (at least that's my opinion)
After installing it, I tried to execute it by using the /etc/hostapd.realtek.conf
What I got is :
Here are also some other command's results that might be helpful:
lsusb
iwconfig
uname -a
/etc/hostapd.realtek.conf
Also, I would like to mention that the USB dongle works properly as for the scanning of SSIDs using the nmtui tool, but if I'm going to connect to one of them with the correct password, nmtui returns :
Besides all these I also tried to use and the following solutions (but without any success):
https://github.com/jenssegers/RTL8188-hostapd
https://github.com/pritambaral/hostapd-rtl871xdrv
Also, I remember that jensseger's solution was working when I had bananian OS but it had an older kernel that I don't remember right now.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Is there a chance of being a problem in the newer kernel and not driver's one?
Any idea, hint, help is welcome.
Thanks.
