  1. the red light (rtl) is the client it only lights when connected to an ap when using client mode.

    the blue light (ar) is your pineapple ssid and used by karma.

    maybe try client mode in the network tile instead of network manager and make sure you have done the update for the network tile or you may be having an encryption issue

  2. On that note chriswhat whats the command/s being run from the dip switch? Is it something like

    ifconfig wlan0 down; ifconfig wlan1 down; macchanger -A wlan0; macchanger -A wlan1; ifconfig wlan0 up; ifconfig wlan1 up

    I can't seem to find where they run in the boot order, though I must admit I haven't looked very hard, so maybe that's the issue. From the samples I've seen they seem to be executed quite late in the boot process.

    Why not associate a script with a dip switch, I have not played with the dip switches but would that not ensure a graceful interface reset with changes? It also means you can add ts lines to write out to a file and see what's happening...

    [sorry will have to try it myself later as work calls]

    I am running a script from my dip switch:

    ifconfig wlan0 down
    ifconfig wlan1 down
    macchanger -A wlan0
    macchanger -A wlan1
    ifconfig wlan0 up
    ifconfig wlan1 up

    I am guessing the issue is that dip switches run very late in boot order though and thats the problem with using dip switches to change your mac if you are not connecting with ethernet

  3. Sooooo damn pissed. Called UPS about my package. Online tracking says its been cleared and on its way, but when I called, they blatantly said that the online tracking info was incorrect and in fact the package was sitting in a warehouse awaiting clearance.

    Ordered my pineapple on the 16th, paid UPS Standard insured, was scheduled for delivery yesterday, now this bag of horse manure.

    I advise no one to use UPS (Ultra Poor Service)

    Better to use USPS, its gonna take the same amount of time, cost you less for shipping and little to no ridiculous brokerage fees

    thats weird cause i believe the online tracking is all they can see as well so if it says cleared it probably is they are just being slow and trying to blame customs. that seems to always be their excuse if they are late.

  4. I swear the people at UPS are retard. Been tracking my Mark V, it went from San Pablo, California to New Brunswick Canada, to Windsor Ontario Canada, to Freaking Hodgkins Illinois.....

    Windsor is 1 hr away from my damn house......

    It had some "Power of Attorney notice needed" issue, then had to be processed by broker, then went to be registered at clearance agency.

    LOGISTICS AT ITS BEST

    hmm sounds expensive maybe that why their fees are so high

  5. Ill start with saying if this is a stupid question forgive me I tried to search and the mk5 is my first pineapple since a mk2 I built.

    So how does Karma Intelligence Report work? should it show active clients? or does it just display the last single association?

    For me it seems to display the last client that associated only and not always that if I'm the only client it show my info there for a few minutes but then if I look the list is empty, is that normal?

  6. got it going, logging away. Lets see what this battery can do, thanks jjd

    not a problem!

    I should also mention if your don't have an sd card in u may want to use longer times to log or save the log to an sd card if using >> as it will append to the file > will overwrite the file so it will not get larger. no idea how large the file will get but it would suck to use up all the free space and have to start all over again. that would just be a waste of pineapple juice.

  7. i was trying something like this

    uptime >> logfilename.txt

    had no luck, couldn't get it to write a file, tried thesugarat's version and no luck either.

    works for me

    root@Pineapple:~# uptime > uptime.log
    root@Pineapple:~# ls
    uptime.log
    root@Pineapple:~# cat uptime.log 
     06:22:01 up 27 min,  load average: 0.00, 0.13, 0.31
    root@Pineapple:~# 
  8. if your wanting to just leave the pineapple running and see when it turns off maybe set a cron job to run every 15 minutes or so and have it save uptime to a file. that would be the least resource heavy way I think

    uptime > uptime.log

    or if you want to tax the system just a bit and use a little processor power you could do a loop in a .sh script and it will add teh uptime to the log every 60 seconds

    while true
    do
        uptime > uptime.log
        sleep 60
    done

    or if you want to use a lot more processor power as if the mk5 was under load in the field you could have the system calculate pi between logging uptime

    first install bc

    opkg update
    opkg install bc

    to calculate pi and log uptime on the mk5 add this to a .sh script. this should create a new log entry every 8 minutes or so as it will calculate pi to 5000 digits between every log update.

    while true
    do
        uptime > uptime.log
    echo "scale=5000; 4*a(1)" | bc -l
    done
    

    and just for the hell of it if you want to know how the mk5 speed compares to a pc the mk5 should take about 8 minutes to calculate pi to 5000 digits my i7 macbook does it in 16.980 seconds, really not bad at all!

  9. Canada should be free. NAFTA

    there should be tax but no duty. but ups has often charged me for that anyway I don't bother fighting with ups anymore I just don't ship with them whenever possible (why I asked for the travel kit to ship usps when it does ship) and if I do have to I add 30% of the items cost into the shipping if I still think its worth it I buy it and let them charge me.

    on several occasions I have had them refuse to release my packages that had no duty due and I self cleared through customs because they want their brokerage fee, Ive even had to get customs to call them and that is not an easy thing to do!

  10. hopefully someone can help me out here...

    I thought I would play with macchanger and decided to change the mac of wlan1 so I did this from ssh:

    ifconfig wlan1 down
    macchanger -r wlan1
    ifconfig wlan1 up

    so far so good I had a new mac....

    then wlan1 reconnected to my home wifi in client mode however it lost its default gateway in the network tab so no internet access.

    In wifi manager it now showed

    radio1 - enabled

    no wlan1 and no new mac. below it did show it as being connected to my home ap

    I unplugged my mk5 and when I plugged it back in some hours latter my wlan1 mac was back to normal however it was now radio2....

    in wifi manager:

    radio0 wlan0 enabled ##:##:##:##:##:##
    radio1 - enabled
    radio2 wlan1 enabled ##:##:##:##:##:##

    so thats a little weird....

    a little confused as to why it will not reset the default gateway after changing the mac (it does get a ping-able ip on my local network) and very confused how I wound up with an extra radio

    edit:

    disconnecting and reconnecting did not reset the gateway, trying my other network did not get a gateway
