Hi,
I am new to Pineapple and have been pretty successful setting it up, however with one big exception:
I am unable to use both internal and external(USB) radio at the same time without NHA powering down and back up.
I have seen this might be related to power issues, however I am running both USB powered hub and power brick when testing this.
lsusb output:
lsusb Output
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1a40:0101 Terminus Technology Inc. 4-Port HUB Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0781:5571 SanDisk Corp. Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9271 802.11n
Sometimes after the boot I can't bring up wlan1 :
root@Pineapple:~# ifconfig wlan1 up
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
This can be usually solved by replugging the NHA into the usb.
root@Pineapple:~# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
wlan1 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any

wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn Mode:Master Tx-Power=27 dBm

If I add another client interface via Network manager or try to set up client connection on WLAN1 via the wireless_connect.sh script the WLAN1 interface dissapears:
root@Pineapple:~# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth1 no wireless extensions.

lsusb still sees the NHA but LED is not flashing anymore.
Any hints? I have no idea where to go next.
