Mk3 Karma Issue, Missing File In Firmware. ( Solved )

[CodiahW]

I recently updated my pineapple to Mk3 firmware, the latest available download seems to be missing something critical to have karma function correctly. I noticed that no devices were interconnecting to the router so I ran the cat command on the karma related files and discovered that in the startkarma.sh script it contains the following.

wifiLedOn
hostapd_cli -p /var/run/hostapd-phy0 karma_enable

and if you check in /var/run/, there is not a hostapd-phy0, or anything that looks like it would do the trick of enabling karma. Does anyone have any incite on this for me? I'd love to have Karma working correctly again.

Thanks, -CodiahW

what hardware? I would try to install the firmware again BUT also with a new download, could be a bad download?

I will give that another try, this time with another computer just to cover all my bases and get back to you on that...

Ok so a fresh download on another computer and a re-flash has solved the issue, now to get back to work on redesigning m web interface.
