Petal0u Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Hi every body, Tanks igor for your great job with your linux versions for cubietruck. I installed jessie with kernel 3.4. I'm trying to make a media server with minidlna. Cubietruck is connected to the router with ethernet when i'm at home and minidlna stream fine. I sucessfully installed hostapd with your interfaces.hostapd file. Ethernet plugged, i can connect to wlan0 and access to minidlna. My problem is when ethernet is unplugged and i reboot the cubietruck. I cannot access to minidlna via wlan0. I set network_interface=br0 in minidlna configuration. Do i need to manually configure dhcp or something like that?
wildcat_paris Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I don't know if it can help you.on my Rpi2 jessie and kernel 4.1, waiting upto 2 minutes after booting, the Rpi joins my wlan host => so I can access the Rpi as if it was on the LAN excepted it is on the WLAN. gr@pi ~ $ cat /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth0 wlan0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet manual allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf wpa_supplicant.conf => contains the SSID and password note: br0 get the MAC address of the eth0 (probably because it is declared first in the bridge) wlan0 has a separate MAC I have added in the dhcpd.conf - the eth0 MAC address to get an "fixed" IP address if I connect ethernet - the wlan0 MAC address to get a "fixed" IP address if ethernet is not connected
Petal0u Posted January 3, 2016 Author Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks for your answer. I'm not sure to understand. I think adding this to dhcpd.conf: - the eth0 MAC address to get an "fixed" IP address if I connect ethernet - the wlan0 MAC address to get a "fixed" IP address if ethernet is not connected Will only give the same ip address to my cubietruck if it's connected to the router through eth0 or wlan0. What i want to do is to stream movies, with minidlna, throught ethernet when this one is plugged to my router while i'm at home. When i'm not at home, i want my cubie turning to a hotspot and stream through wlan0, with my tablet directly connected on wlan0. That´s why i think, br0 can allow me to connect to minidlna in anyway through eth0 or wlan0 but it's not. I Know what i want to do but i'm not sure about the way
wildcat_paris Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) you are welcome. I didn't get the "host" part, my bad we are not native english speakers. my first (wrong answer): so you need to change the config of your wlan interface : guest (home) or host (outside) ok, in my configuration both ethernet and wifi of my Rpi2 are "guest" for my home "router" Armbian for lamobo-r1 so I can connect either ethernet and/or wifi to access my local network. => keep this. You need also a wlan host AP daemon (hotspot) for "outdoor" use to broadcast your files. 1/ so by default (outside), you need to config and launch hostapd service (so you can connect to the cubie) also you need to "comment" the line "wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" in /etc/network/interface 2/ when you are back home connected with ethernet Lan, stop hostapd service and uncomment the "wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" and sudo ifdown wlan0;sudo ifup wlan0 you need: A/ a config for wlan guest @home (depends on your home router) B/ a config for wlan host @outside more appropriate answer: so you need to have your wlan interface as a host (outside) 1/ so by default @bootup, you need to config and launch hostapd service (so you can connect to the cubie) => depending on your hardware you need to build a proper /etc/hostapd.conf file you can use gr@pi ~ $ cat /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth0 wlan0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet manual allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual 2/ when you are back home connected with ethernet Lan, stop hostapd service if not needed you need: a config for wlan host @outside => /etc/hostapd.conf see http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/567-issue-with-hostapd-rt/ is this correct?

Petal0u Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 I Will try this tutorial and i'll post the results here. http://www.gavsworld.net/?page=Raspberry+Pi/Car+Media+Server#wifi_hotspot It seems to be a good solution
Igor Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 apt-get install hostapd Hostapd from Debian / Ubuntu repository can be (very) old or not compatible with some Realtek devices. Armbian use self compiled / latest stable. Check this script: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/hostapd In some cases this helps.
