Can't assign wlan device on generic-pc-2.11.1b133

[skua]

Hi...

Using b135 right now.

Good, webGUI Parent Interface now shows both dongles, but shows them like this:



Both run0 and rum0 are displayed, but said "undetected".

I assigned run0, did a reboot, but ifconfig doesn't show it active.

[andywhite]

I'll look later today.

Undetected is because it could detect the Mac address, which is because of how I did the workaround , that should be fine.

[skua]

Good morning!

And good news!

First I have to say I made a mistake last night:

I assigned both usb devices but forgot to associate them to LAN and WAN ports. After that was corrected and a system reboot, now wlan0 (rum -> LAN) and wlan1 (run -> WAN) are listed and active.

LAN in AP mode and wpa2 is working OK.

Weird things I noticed:

a) "Interfaces: Assign network ports: Edit WLAN --> Standard" dropdown box shows nothing.

b) WAN interface cannot get IP addresses from other wifi routers/APs, via DHCP. Assigning it a static IP address has no effect.

c) ifconfig shows WAN interface associated, even if using wrong encryption keys in its configuration:

Code: [Select]

wlan1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

wepkey 1:104-bit txpower 30 bmiss 7 scanvalid 60 protmode CTS wme
groups: wlan
 By the way, is it possible somehow to use wpa2 on BSS (Station) mode?

P.S.: If I set rl0 as WAN, all works fine, just as expected.

[skua]

Well, after several tests and following this:

http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/troubleshooting-nointernetfromlan.html

I'm still unable to get a lease from other routers/APs.

Using static addresses also fails.

Am I missing something?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

[skua]

My problem persists.

Maybe this can shed some light on it...

After some time console shows this message:

wlan1: ieee80211_new_state_locked: pending ASSOC -> RUN transition lost

ifconfig keeps showing:

Code: [Select]

wlan1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

P.S.: If no encryption key is used, WAN (wlan1) connects and gets IP from DHCP servers as expected.

Thanks in advance.

I'll look tomorrow, I have added a wifi device to my test unit

is your WAN setup with wpa ?

[skua]

Hello there...

I am testing WAN connections using WEP encryption, because if I try to use wpa/wpa2, t1n1wall displays: "WPA is only supported in hostap mode." error message.

Is it possible to use wpa/wpa2 in BSS (Station) mode? I couldn't make it work...

t1n1wall fits like a glove in this geode hardware we got here, and having WAN connections using a higher security standard would be just right for our project.

Thank you for the replies.

[andywhite]

the wpa code is built into the hostapd daemon used for running in AP mode, so it was never supported for BSS mode.

I have changed the webui a little for wlan config, you should see xx's for the mac addr , and it should show the driver name correctly again.

I have added wpa_supplicant to t1n1wall, which is required for doing wpa in bss mode, and put in the code so it should work.  I can't test it as my compact flash in my test device died.  But it should create a file in /var/etc called wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf , and it should execute wpa_supplicant then.  if it doesn't work can you check in status.php that wpa is or isn't running, and check if the wpa_supplicant file exists in /var/etc ?

[skua]

Hello...

Testing b136 right now.

Unfortunately wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf is not listed in /var/etc and status.php doesn't show wpa_supplicant's presence.

Console shows that wlan0 is assigned as LAN (which is running in AP mode) and wlan1 is assigned as WAN (BSS). I don't know if this is related (I am not a programmer), but maybe it should be "wpa_supplicant-wlan1.conf" or not?

Proceeding with further tests here...

BRB. 

[skua]

Well...

In the last post I forgot to mention that WebGUI keeps displaying "WPA is only supported in hostap mode" if I try to use wpa/psk (build 136).

After the inclusion of wpa_supplicant in t1n1wall, what is the right way to configure wpa connections? I must be missing something... 

Anyway, WEP seems to be working incorrectly too.

e.g.: WAN connection associates to router/AP, using correct or incorrect WEP keys, but i get no DHCP lease in any case. Using static addresses has no effect. The only way I can get a DHCP lease is by using no encrypted connections.

Thanks.

[andywhite]

Can you try the new build 138 ?

[skua]

Hello...

Trying b138:


Now I can assign wpa connections on webGUI, I can see wpa_supplicant listed on /var/etc/

Code: [Select]

$ ls /var/etc
cfdevice

dnsmasq
hostapd-wlan0.conf
hosts
ntpd.conf
pf.ip4.conf
pf.ippools.conf
pf.nat4.conf
resolv.conf
wpa_supplicant-wlan1.conf

But it seems not being able to run or the process dies somewhere during system boot, for some reason:

Hi there...

This is the contents of /var/etc/wpa_supplicant-wlan1.conf of my t1n1wall testing unit (b138):

Code: [Select]

$ cat /var/etc/wpa_supplicant-wlan1.conf

network={
  ssid="testing"
  psk="poiuytrewq"
}
But, in order for me to connect my FreeBSD desktop to the external routers I need to use, this is the contents of wpa_supplicant.conf that works:

Code: [Select]

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
ssid="testing"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=RSN
psk="poiuytrewq"
}
Is there a way to add the options:

ap_scan=1

fast_reauth=1

scan_ssid=1

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

proto=RSN


to t1n1wall's /var/etc/wpa_supplicant-wlan1.conf, so we could test it?

Is it needed to modify the webGUI?

Thank you.

[andywhite]

Hi,

sorry, work has gotten really busy ....

if wpa_supplicant isn't executing,  can you try manually executing it

/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -s -i wlan1 -B -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant-wlan1.pid -c /var/etc/wpa_supplicant-wlan1.conf

I can add in the other options, I think can be done easily, but most of your settings are compatible with defaults (scan_ssid is normally 0)  see  https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?wpa_supplicant.conf(5)

[skua]

Hi there,

Well, by manually issuing that command, wpa works:
