Re: Raspberry Pi, wireless dongle, hostapd

Post by dvdroest »

Ok, I tried it out and while I do get less errors, the end result stays the same:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

Could not set interface to mode(3)!
Could not set interface to master mode!
rtl871xdrv driver initialization failed.
When installing the library there were some issues as well:

Well, I got this USB wifi adapter from a friend, it's 100% identical to the one on https://www.adafruit.com/products/1030, that's how I found it.

Re: Raspberry Pi, wireless dongle, hostapd

Post by adafruit_support_mike »

The dmesg trace says you have a Ralink wifi adapter, vendor id: 148f, product id: 3070.

That's a different manufacturer and chipset from the wifi adapters we have in the shop. Ours use the Realtek 8192cu chipset.

Some digging online says that the driver for that device is included in the standard version of Raspbian, but I'm afraid we don't have any specific information on making it work. You might want to check over in the RasPi Forums and see if the folks there have experience working with it: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/

Re: Raspberry Pi, wireless dongle, hostapd

Hi!

I followed the tutorial https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-a ... l-software and things went swimmingly... Since I have a slightly different USB wifi adapter, I followed these instructions https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/use ... on/hostapd to compile my own version of hostapd.

The wifi network shows up on my devices, but I can't connect. This is what the log shows:

Code: Select all

Jul 11 15:50:33 raspberrypi hostapd: wlan0: STA 80:be:05:64:99:8d IEEE 802.11: authenticated

Jul 11 15:50:34 raspberrypi hostapd: wlan0: STA <mac address redacted> IEEE 802.11: authenticated
My devices tell me "Unable to join the network "MyAP"" or "The Wi-Fi network "MyAP" could not be joined"

My feeling is that the requests coming from the clients aren't being forwarded to the DHCP server.

Code: Select all

sudo service isc-dhcp-server status
returns:

Code: Select all

Status of ISC DHCP server: dhcpd is running.

Code: Select all

 sudo service hostapd status
returns:

Code: Select all

[ ok ] hostapd is running.
All the conf files are as described in the article (first link above).

Can anyone help me out?


Thanks!
Andrew

Update:

tail -f /var/log/syslog
while bringing up the hostapd service

Code: Select all

sudo service hostapd start
yields this log entry:

It looks like wlan0 is trying to get an address via dhcp. What do you have in /etc/network/interfaces?

Re: Raspberry Pi, wireless dongle, hostapd

Post by adafruit_support_mike »

Try changing the line:

Code: Select all

allow-hotplug wlan0
to:

Code: Select all

auto wlan0
The 'allow-hotplug' directive tells the OS to configure the interface any time it recognizes a wifi adapter during USB discovery, and that *usually* includes boot time. Sometimes it doesn't work though, so the interface doesn't get configured at boot.

The 'auto' directive tells the OS to configure the interface any time it gets a general "configure the network" signal, which does always happen at boot time.

Thank you for your response. As of today, my Pi2 is wrapped up in a project for the next few weeks. I had wanted to fit it with its own WiFi access so that the users could connect and download data that will be generated within the project. Alas, time ran out for me :-).

I will pick this up sometime in September... fiddle about some more and try to figure out what was going on. I'll get back to you if I get stuck again.


Thanks once more!
Andrew

I also got a sample problem, and the reason is i bought a fake product that used mt7601U (Ralink) chip.
