Hi

Sorry my english and my ignorance in linux

 

I'm trying to activate hostapd on orange pi light.

I think realtek driver.

 

Nework appairs, but i cannot associate, it says wrong password (12345678)

 

iwconfig has not password item:

Onnline documentation talks about realtek

Default binary and configuration location:

/usr/sbin/hostapd
/etc/hostapd.conf

Realtek binary and configuration location:

/usr/sbin/hostapd-rt
/etc/hostapd.conf-rt

 

I do not have these files -rt

How can I do ? And how are they used?

help

I tried to compile sources.

After compiler error, now hostapd not start.

"No driver enalbled"

"Failed to initialize global context"

Hi 

I have same problem with PC+ with  Armbian5.25 Ubuntu xenial 3.4.113 and even i downgrade hostapd to 2.1 and still it doesn't accept password and I can't connect with PC and mobile    .

Check this image: https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipcplus/archive/Armbian_5.27_Orangepipcplus_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113.7z (desktop version is there too)

 

You can use armbian-config to create AP. I made a test - it works in bridge mode while it fails in NAT - I am still looking what is it.

Thank you, I tried.
On bridge.
The net ARMBIAN born, but with password 12345678 I do not connect at it.

Type iwconfig

"Encription key:off"

In bridge mode you need a dhcp running on network. That's all. I also solve problems in NAT mode so both are (will be) working.

Wrote on mobile

There is DHCP in my network, but it does not match, it tells me that the password I entered is wrong.

And the radio does not have a network key.

I have a orange pi light, with usb ethernet adapter, connecter on my network with dhcp.
ping google work, but my smartphone cannot associate to wifi networc created, it show password error.

There is no relation between your network DHCP and the HOSTAP DHCP, you need to run a DHCP server on your OrangePi to serve its clients.

 

If the error I get from the phone is "wrong password", there is nothing to do with DHCP.

I also tried to assign the static ip at the phone but it does not change anything.

What OS is the phone? Android? Windows? ios? I know for  fact the image posted above works as it should on the PC Plus, I have it running right here.

 

My Android phone  / tablet works fine, my 10 windows box does not connect (well "connects" but authentication fails) , but it is flaky about wpa some times.

 

I apologize, that link works.
I used the same build of orangepi light, and it did not work.
I used a bridge, but there is an internal DHCP that should not be there.

No, no, sorry, there is no DHCP server.
I had forgotten static ip for yesterday's tests.

I received Orange Pi Zero

Loaded its own firmware.  Armbian_5.30_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113

When I launch armbian-config, and i enable hotspot WiFi, I receive tis error message:

Warning
Wireless adapter: wlan0

No compatible hostapd driver found.

Yes, it looks armbian-config is not completely resilient to other changes ... it used to work but now it doesn't anymore. 

Now you have to proceed manual way. temporally workaround:

 

apt install hostapd
cd /etc/network
ln -sf interfaces.hostapd interfaces
systemctl disable network-manager
sed -i "s/^DAEMON_CONF=.*/DAEMON_CONF=\/etc\/hostapd.conf/" /etc/init.d/hostapd 
reboot

You will see: ARMBIAN / 12345678 ... Configure /etc/hostapd.conf

 

Edit: it looks like this problem is affected only to Orange Pi Zero.

Ok, work.
But i Need Two class of ip, one on eth0 and one on wlan0
On eth0 on DCP, on wlan on static ip.
I don't have necessity that the wifi go on internet, it doesn't serve me of it bridge, of it nat.
Me enough that the CPU reaches internet and the objects in the wifi
I have written so, but I have lost the board, it doesn't take ip from the DHCP anymore server.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.8.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.8.255
gateway 192.168.8.1

 

remove the gateway ...

 

Same result

A easy way to set a lan and wlan ip's on 2 different networks can be done with armbian / openwrt. ..OK so I am fat and lazy....

I have not run the last version but the older ver works very well.

not sure what you are after, but it is easy to setup and test / AP mode / client mode / AD-Hoc mode

I have logs of Iperf3 between a ver 1.1 and ver 1.4 going both ways ...with both as AP and both as client if you want to some numbers.
