BPI-R2 2.4Ghz and 5.6Ghz Wifi Working fine

frank-w · October 20, 2017, 8:13am

you’ve wrote, on master branch with echo 1 and on wifi without…

ok, i try without echo 1, also checking if neccessary modules are loaded (e.g. mac802111)

got it working, have found out, that i had not removed wpasupplicant and removed wpa2-settings in hostapd.conf

i see ssid from wlan-client, can connect (to ip-registration)

if i now set ip to ap0 and start dnsmasq, ap is no more visible…but no crash

garywang · October 22, 2017, 5:49am

Do you mean the AP mode is working fine, but the DHCP can’t work for ap0, right?

frank-w · October 22, 2017, 5:59am

I don’t know,which step removes ssid from Client…have to do more testing. But with restartung hostapd i can’t get it back (also without ip/dnsmasq)

connected to AP, set client IP static, set IP of ap0 => can ping ap0-adress from Client

so static seems to work

started dnsmasq and reconnected with dhcp enabled, got IP and can ping again

frank-w · October 24, 2017, 12:02pm

main problem, i have is that the wifi-device has no fixed MAC-address, so after each reboot i got a new entry in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and the wlan-device-number is increasing…can you fix this too?

sunarowicz · October 24, 2017, 12:09pm

I discovered the same behaviour with LAN interface as well. Everytime I boot R2 up it has different MAC on LAN interface it is connected to network and obtains different IP from DHCP. Setting the static MAC in NetworkManager doesn’t help.

frank-w · October 24, 2017, 12:10pm

for LAN-Interfaces there is a fix using /etc/network/interfaces:

hwaddress ether ...

pkalemba · November 5, 2017, 5:17am

It Will be suported on LEDE?

frank-w · November 5, 2017, 10:25pm

i’m sure it will be ported to lede-kernel to (and hopefully to 4.14) if it’s working correctly

the existing issues (random mac-Adress which resulting different devices by udev, 2 wlan-devices for 1 physical [client vs ap]) must be fixed first and then the device must be detected without starting anything or any echo…it’s ok during wifi-debugging, but not for stable usage

home-routerboard without wlan-AP is quite useless

BenB · November 6, 2017, 12:18pm

Hello do you have some news for Ap-Mode on Ubuntu? Do you plan a new ubuntu image with APMode and Vlan/switch mode?

enfide · November 7, 2017, 2:59pm

Hi @garywang , once I enable the driver (using init.d and doing echo A to enable AP too), I get the following log in dmesg, any idea? I think wifi crashes the kernel at some point, for example I had to reboot the board after hours because I was not able to login to it via SSH anymore and the board was offline (the bridge was working but the OS wasn’t). I only noticed following logs so ATM I’m testing without enabling MT6625. I’m using latest Ubuntu kernel (commit 81d24bb)

Hi Enfide

Please remove the wpa_supplicant package when it’s in AP mode, because it will cause this issue.

enfide · November 7, 2017, 3:30pm

Thank you Gary! Sorry for the question, I forgot about it…

To disable the service from systemd I executed:

systemctl mask wpa_supplicant.service

So I can still use wpa_supplicant on other interfaces. nmcli doesn’t work anymore for wifi devices but this is not an issue as we use hostapd to provide AP.

BenB · November 22, 2017, 11:48am

Hello do you have some news for Ap-Mode on Ubuntu?

Do you plan a new ubuntu image with APMode and Vlan/switch mode?

Or a clear instructions for use wifi apmode a switch/vlan?

frank-w · November 22, 2017, 11:50am

switch/vlan will not be available in 4.4.70, ap seems to work stable in my (short) tests

why a new image when you simply can replace kernel?

BenB · November 23, 2017, 7:13am

Just out of simplicity, I don’t have any other machine under ubuntu for compile kernel. What is the procedure for activating the ap-mode? I have tried: Echo A>/dev/wmtWifi and killall wpa_supplicant apt-get remove wpa_supplicant echo 1>$… is uncommented and reboot but ap-mode is not available (I have an errror message: ap-mode is disabled)

frank-w · November 23, 2017, 7:25am

only echo 0 and echo A…before that the 2 other commands…no reboot

BenB · November 23, 2017, 12:07pm

hello, I have done echo 0, echo A After: killall wpa_supplicant=>wpa_supplicant: no process found When I launch: hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf (this hostapd.conf is good It’s tried on a Pi2) I have:

frank-w · November 23, 2017, 12:10pm

like described here http://www.fw-web.de/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:bpi-r2:wlan#internal

wmt_loader
stp_uart_launcher -p /etc/firmware &
echo 0 >/dev/wmtWifi (reset/initialize)
echo A >/dev/wmtWifi (activate AP-Mode)

have you done steps 1 & 2?

also you must start hostapd on ap0 instead of wlan0

BitMaster · November 23, 2017, 12:44pm

2 additional points:

After a clean boot, you dont have to use “echo 0”. It works when you do the first 2 steps that Frank suggests and then “echo A”
Make sure you have the firmware files in /etc/firmware.

Indeed most likely you just need to use ap0 instead of wlan0.

Read this manual for original instructions.

BenB · December 11, 2017, 11:46am

ok it’s works fine, But it’s too bad we can only use with a single SSID!! I need to install a usb dongle for use a second SSID!
