I'm new to cubietruck and linux as well. 

 I used the default build for CT i.e. 3.4.107. The wlan0 was working fine. It was using bcmdhd module for wireless.

 But I had to move the latest version 4.0.5 for the availabilty of sctp module which was not available in 3.4.107.

 In 4.0.5, the wireless interface is not being detected and it has brcmfmac for wireless i think. 

 Is there a way to implement the sctp in 3.4.107 or make the wireless work in 4.0.5 ? please advise.

 

 

 

best regards,

Arun

I tested yesterday, it's working normally. Are you using a proper network configuration?

 

If you made only kernel upgrade, you might need to remove:

 

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Thank you. 

I only did a kernel upgrade but did not remove file.

I'll try again with your suggestion.

thanks again.

Hello Igor, 

 The wireless interface comes up and able to associate with an AP using the 4.0.5 kernel version.

  Now I see that eth0 or wlan0 does not get their IP from dhcp. (the /etc/network/interfaces config seems to be fine)

  Am I missing anything ?

  

 

 

 

regards.

If you want to get an DHCP from your router, than you need to use bridge:

 

/etc/network/interfaces.hostapd

auto lo br0
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual

iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0 wlan0

Hello Igor,

 

thanks for your reply.

 

Is this a limitation in 4.0.5 to use hostapd configuration to get the dhcp working ? because with interface.default in 3.4.107, the address was assigned to the interfaces without any issue.

My intention is not to use CT as an AP but just yet another device which get its IP from my DSL router.

 

 

regards.

Aha, one more possible problem is also uboot. Install that too.

I tried the installing the uboot & reboot, but did not help.

Hello Igor,

 Looks like installing other packages (dtb and headers) helped.

 i'm able to get addresses from dhcp server. 

 thanks for your support.
