WiFi AP on BPiM2+


Dmitriy Zhuk

Recommended Posts

             Hello guys.

I try to configure AP on WiFi.

I have created /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf:

interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
country_code=IN
ssid=TEST
hw_mode=g
channel=6
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=12345678
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
auth_algs=1
macaddr_acl=0

Then I have uncommented DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"

in /etc/default/hostapd.

After it, I run /etc/init.d/hostapd restart

And I try to scan WiFi via mobile phone, and no TEST.

What am I doing wrong?

How can I make AP via hostapd?

You can try with "clear", then go up and go once again into networking. You should have a menu for this but since you already made changes to configurations, this method might not work. It is not that resilient. I would still recommend you to go with the latest build or study the whole thing in deep. The main problem in a manual method is to add wlan0 to /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-ignore-interfaces.conf and restart Network manager ... this way hostapd gets access to this wireless adaptor in first place. I think this is the main problem you are facing. Second is correct hostapd configuration.

My folder /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d is empty.

I have attached my hostapd.conf

I run hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd.conf

There is my output:

Maybe this additional information can help...

You are wasting time ... until you don't tell Network manager to give you access to the device. This step is important.

Do you mean, I need add
[keyfile] unmanaged-devices=mac:00:19:e0:57:86:af

to file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf?

 

By the way, without telling Network manager, I can to connect to WiFi modem via wpa_supplicant. Is it OK?

I have created file /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-ignore-interfaces.conf

with

echo "[keyfile]" > /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-ignore-interfaces.conf

echo "unmanaged-devices=interface-name:wlx0013ef6c46e3" >> /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-ignore-interfaces.conf

service network-manager restart

I run hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd.conf and also no AP

I almost forgot this. With legacy kernel you need to load module (dhd, ap6211 or ap6212) with op_mode=2 while on mainline kernel this is not needed.

Igor, thank you for this hint.

I have the small success.

I have done

rmmod dhd

modprobe dhd op_mode=2

After it, I can scan and see my SSID via mobile phone.

But, when I trying to connect to it, my phone can't obtain IP address.

Do I have error on my hostapd.conf?

Or do I need other actions for successful connecting?

Since you don't know how to setup thing it is better to use armbian-config way. It does everything ... except switching this mode.

In case you want to do it manually, use google. There are tons of manuals around. You need to setup DHCP server or put network into bridge mode which will make use of your current DHCP server ...

I have resolved this problem due to this forum:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17702

But I have the question.

This method works:

rmmod dhd

modprobe  dhd op_mode=2

But this method does't work:

echo 2 > /sys/module/dhd/parameters/op_mode
Why?

How can I to change some script in sources in order to this module insert with op_mode=2 by default?
