WiFi Manager

[Whistle Master]

Hi everyone !

My new module: a network manager for our pineapple.

Features

This module give the ability to manage all wifi interfaces (e.g. connect to hotspot), internet sharing, etc.

Simplified Usage

Scenario: Connect to an external AP to provide internet access to the Pineapple.

- Connect your external WiFi card on your pineapple.

- Launch the Network Manager infusion.

- Make sure your external WiFi card is detected in the Physical Interfaces section (e.g. wlan1) and is enabled.

- Click on [Auto Detect] link to automatically prepare the default configuration for the new interface. An addition section will appear at the bottom Physical Interface radio1 [wlan1] - HWAddr [XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX].

- In this section:

- Tick Enable.

- Select WAN in Network drop-down list.

- Select Client in Mode drop-down list.

- Enter your AP SSID in Wireless Network Name (SSID) field. You can click on [Available AP] to view a list of AP available around.

- Select the correct AP channel in the Channel drop-down list.

- Broadcast SSID is Enable.

- Select the appropriate security in Security drop-down list.

- Select the appropriate encryption in Encryption drop-down list.

- Enter the appropriate Key / Shared Key in the Key / Shared Key field.

- Click on [save]

- Click on [submit]

- Click on [DHCP Request]

Troubleshooting procedure

1. Connected to AP. View pineapple log and search for:

wlan1: associated
wlan1: RX AssocResp from XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (capab=0x1431 status=0 aid=4)
wlan1: associate with XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (try 1/3)
wlan1: authenticated
wlan1: send auth to XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (try 1/3)

XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is AP's MAC address (BSSID).

2. DHCP. View pineapple log and search for:

DHCP packet received on wlan1 which has no address

This will get pinned to my title bar the moment its released! Whistle Master, you need a Donate button man. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wouldn't mind supporting the guy who has created 90% of the pineapple bar! Or at least be sure to come to DerbyCon so I can buy you dinner or something.

Thanks again WM

First version was sent to Seb ;)

For the moment, there is no support for WPA/WPA2 Enterprise and Mac Address cannot be changed.

As Seb said, it should be included in the firmware.

bug

my NHA connected through a hub is not showing up in the module?

even after I bring it up with ifconfig wlan1 up?

all I see is the internal wifi

also available AP does not work on wlan0 and wlan1?

Have you tried the auto-detect function ? It has to be used first if the physical radio is not seen.

no dice, even tried it without the hub.

[Neworld]

no dice, even tried it without the hub.

I've had similar problems with my Alfa but I came to the conclusion that I shorted it out because it wasn't recognizable from the hub, pineapple, or computer.

Try it on your computer and see if it is still functioning...

It shows up with iwconfig and is confirmed working manualy connecting it to my home access point,

[Whistle Master]

I send you a PM to try to solve it :)

[Whistle Master]

Issue solved, thanks petertfm !

version 1.1 sent to Seb ^_^

Is it possible to use the Alfa as the main interface for expanding pineapples range?? Since it has the Atheros chip you can even use it for "Karming" ( I guess :P )

WhistleMaster we really, really, REALLY LOVE YOUR WORK!!! Thank you for everything you are doing!!!

Should be indeed, but the module is not (yet) developed to offer this possibility. If there is interest for it, I will add it to the next version ;)
