I am trying to create an access point which will allow wireless clients to access the internet. I have this working fine, I am running hostapd and isc-dhcp-server but I am running into an issue. I am obviously using the internal wifi adapter which uses the nl80211 driver. This is causing me an issue though, so far I am able to have 4 clients connect to the device however my DHCP settings have allowed for a lot more.

Here is my hostapd conf
  1. interface=wlan0
  2. driver=nl80211
  3. ssid=FREE_WIFI_NOT_SCAM
  4. hw_mode=g
  5. channel=6
  6. macaddr_acl=0
  7. auth_algs=1
  8. ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
Copy the Code
Here is my dhcp subnet conf
  1. subnet 192.168.42.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  2.         range 192.168.42.10 192.168.42.200;
  3.         option broadcast-address 192.168.42.255;
  4.         option routers 192.168.42.1;
  5.         default-lease-time 600;
  6.         max-lease-time 7200;
  7.         option domain-name "local";
  8.         option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;
  9. }
Copy the Code
I have done the whole shebang with modprobe and enabling the hardware. It even works fine, but is limited to 4 clients right now. Any thoughts?

Hi,
Could you provide more information about the hostapd when you try to use the client associate the AP ?  and the -dd options can help you . Meanwhile, please attach the log of the dhcpd.

Thanks for the reply. You can see my hostapd config files in my first post. Here is the output of the -dd option on hostapd.

I am able to connect to the Banana Pro as an access point using the onboard WiFi. I did set the module as AP mode in the modules folder. The BPro accepts 5 clients, but then refuses more. When I run arp -i wlan0 I get the following output (I currently have 3 computers connected, 2 fell asleep):

Can you sniff on mon.wlan0 for what exactly happens when the 6th client comes and tries to connect?

Yes to be honest I am not entirely sure the best way to do that. I will update my post once I figure this out haha.



Ok so I am using tcpdump to monitor the network. Here is the output of my available interfaces on the Pro.
  1. root@bananapi ~ # tcpdump -D
  2. 1.eth0
  3. 2.wlan0
  4. 3.mon.wlan0
  5. 4.nflog (Linux netfilter log (NFLOG) interface)
  6. 5.usbmon1 (USB bus number 1)
  7. 6.usbmon2 (USB bus number 2)
  8. 7.usbmon3 (USB bus number 3)
  9. 8.usbmon4 (USB bus number 4)
  10. 9.any (Pseudo-device that captures on all interfaces)
  11. 10.lo
Copy the Code
I was connecting to the wlan0 interface, I am not sure what mon.wlan0 is but I will output the dump of each network. mon.wlan0 doesn't seem to do anything ever.
  1. root@bananapi ~ # tcpdump -i mon.wlan0
  2. tcpdump: WARNING: mon.wlan0: no IPv4 address assigned
  3. tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
  4. listening on mon.wlan0, link-type IEEE802_11_RADIO (802.11 plus radiotap header), capture size 65535 bytes

wlan0 is much busier, especially since I have connected 5 devices already. Here is the output of the sniff.
  1. root@bananapi ~ # tcpdump -i wlan0
  2. tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
  3. listening on wlan0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes

The devices I have connected are all very diverse.

  • iPad Mini 3
  • MSI GE70 laptop
  • Mac Mini
  • HP Chromebook
  • HTC ONE M8


The last device I am trying to connect is an Acer Switch. When one of the devices disconnects, I am able to connect the last device. Always maintaining a max of 5 clients.

I guess the big question is, are the 5 users a limitation of the hardware or a software limitation?



I am supplying a range of IPs to my DHCP server from 192.168.42.10 to 192.168.42.200 which should be more than enough clients. I can't seem to find any configuration files which may indicate the number of clients that can connect. If I look in my /etc/modules config file:
  1. # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
  2. #
  3. # This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
  4. # at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
  5. # Parameters can be specified after the module name.

  7. # VLAN support for BPI-R1
  8. 8021q

  10. #ap6210
  11. ap6210 op_mode=2
Copy the Code
I have ap6210 running in mode 2, which from I read on the wiki: http://wiki.lemaker.org/WiFi#WiFi_AP_mode

I have been using isc-dhcp server like in the adafruit Raspberry Pi tutorials. This has been the only DHCP server I have been able to get working, maybe that is causing the issue? I was unsuccessful at getting udhcpd or dnsmasq working instead.

Needless to say this is frustrating haha



Edit:

I have since found a tcpdump command that only shows the connections to the access points from the computers requesting a connection.
  1. root@bananapi ~ # tcpdump -n -i wlan0 port bootps or port bootpc
  2. tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
  3. listening on wlan0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes

The only problem is it doesn't show when there is an error. However when I try another device I get:



I am unable to find a log file for isc-dhcp-server, I am checking out the man page to see if I need to enable one. The only log output I have gotten was in /var/log/syslog when I had the wrong configuration options set.



Even more edits. I am using dhcpdump to monitor the wlan0 interface while connections are happening. Here is the output for the first 5.

The 6th connection doesn't even create a request here. Sorry for the incredibly long post, I am trying to provide all the information needed. It is weird that I don't even see a request on the last client though.

Usually the client number limit is fixed by wireless driver firmware.

Don't know exactly for this situation.

That is what I am currently trying to determine. I don't know where to look for that. I hope that isn't the case.

Than simply ask responsible Broadcomm developer. They are willing to help.

Monitoring the "wlan0" interface won't lead to any more information. That's why I asked for the monitor interface - it should give 802.11 traffic, too. Curious it doesn't  give anything at all, though.
