Hi!

hostapd in n-mode now working.
Reason: wrong additional '+' in the line ht_capab=[SHORT-GI-20][SHORT-GI-40][HT40+]

Thanks for support

I make all what you write:

I can´t find where may be fail. There is the log of "make" driver install...

Hello Everyone,

I was able to get my BPI-R1 up and running using this excellent guide.
https://docs.google.com/document ... _XnT0sDg/edit?pli=1

My clients can connect to the bridged wifi successfully. But as soon as there's some heavy traffic the wifi stops working. Only a restart of hostapd helps.

Output from hostapd.

Anyone having the same issue? Any help is very much appreciated.

Hi, thank you for the compliment.

You didn't let us know which image you have chosen, but as your hostapd seems to make you trouble, I guess Bananian? And because you're in the Bananian of the of the Forum.

If you have done the backup's as well in the guide, you can now safely give the: armBIAN 2.7 kernel3.4.107 a try.

please report back, when done.

TS_Fan · Post time Jun 23, 2015 11:58

Thanks for the quick response.
Sorry, forgot to mention. I am using Bananian 15.04.

I will try armBIAN, although I am kind of reluctant to start all over ;-)
Is there any explanation why armBIAN might work better, to increase my motivation?

Tido · Post time Jun 24, 2015 00:42

Yes there is, it has the latest hostapd.
You can also copy it over and try if it works, basically the image from armBIAN is simply more updated.
It features the latest findings and corrections before Bananian.

Today I tested with Igors new image:

root@lamobo# uname -a

Linux lamobo 3.4.108-lamobo-r1 #8 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 12 07:42:07 CEST 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux

Unfortunately the same behaviour. When copying large files over wifi the wifi stops working. Hostapd is still running and I can see the network from my Notebook but cannot connect anymore.

Hostapd ouptut when I try to reconnect:

I tested with:

I am using the latest driver btw: RTL8188C_8192C_USB_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911

Any ideas what might go wrong?

igorpec · Post time Jul 12, 2015 13:08

Can u try the same situation with kernel 4.1.2 ... it's different driver and different hostapd configuration.

schasch · Post time Sep 22, 2015 02:01

hello,

did anyone realize this with bananian 15.08?
I can't get it stable to run?!?!?!

If someone got it please tell me the
combination of bananian, hostapd-version and config, 8192cu-driver-version, kernel version and other patched-stuff to get it run.

regards
schasch

schasch · Post time Sep 23, 2015 07:49

I got the AP 1504 working but didn't get it to work on 1508.
I copied hostald-rt and hostapd-rt.conf from armbian.
Now I can login again to my AP
maybe it was my old conf. Don't matter anymore.
thanks
