WiFi Manager

janekong · August 3, 2013

My router only supports:

WPA2 CCMP

PSK

I can't select CCMP (tried AES and TKIP) in the network manager.

So, the pineapple does not connect.

Tried a '[DHCP Request]'

I checked the logs. The connection does not show up

And why should you set ICS to share from none to none?

System logs:

udhcpc (v1.19.4) started
Sending discover...
Sending discover...
Sending discover...
No lease, failing

second try:

Pineapple kern.info kernel: [ 269.890000] wlan1: deauthenticating from ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:24 by local choice (reason=3)

What does that mean by local choice??

I recently purchased a wifi pineapple, and I'm trying to instal the networkmanager module in order to connect to a wifi

After updating the package list, it seems to still not be found. Any ideas?

root@Pineapple:~# opkg install networkmanager

Unknown package 'networkmanager'.

Collected errors:

* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package networkmanager.

What firmware version are you on?

defcon21 · August 4, 2013

Firmware 3.0.0, it's a MarkIV

For now you have to download networkmanager which is now called Wifi Manager via the Pineapple Bar. Btw you have to install it to your pineapples storage not an external usb. There are some issues that are being fixed that have to do with using infusions from the usb storage.

Okay thanks, I got wifi manager.

I'm trying to get internet access through my second interface, however after I click commit it just stays on 'Loading' for a while, and when I refresh the page the second interface is disabled. Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks in advance

EDIT: Creating a new thread for this issue

Still not working for me.... It simply does not connect to my wifi router. No lease, failing''

Could you please follow the simplified usage and see if it works for you ?

janekong · August 6, 2013

Yes, I tried that tons of times. But it simply refuses to connect.

Is there any 'advanced debugging' option???

What are the instructions to manually connect?

What does this mean btw?

00:00:58 Pineapple user.info sysinit: enable_mac80211(radio1): Failed to set up wpa_supplicant for interface wlan1

[sploier]

I've had trouble with the network manager myself.

The best way I've found to connect lets say an Alfa usb card to an encrypted network is to boot up the pineapple after its booted plug in the alfa card. (I wait tell the pineapple boots before I plug it in so I know the Alfa will be on wlan1 not wlan0)

I run airmon-ng start wlan1 to bring up monitor mode (because 90% of the time I still wanna scan the area to see whats going on) I would run airodump mon0 just to wake up the card. I find if I just try to connect to my WPA2 network it doesn't always work unless I run airodump first.

Now to connect to a WPA2 network you wanna edit your WPA_supplicant.conf its located inside /etc/ with something simple like

_network={

ssid=" yourssid "

psk= yourpassword

}

Once your WPA_supplicant is set up you can run wpa_supplicant. I use this little script. (I mostly stole from the forms) That will run wpa_supplicant set ipforwarding clear your iptables and set them then run udhcpc to get a dhcp request.

_#!/bin/sh

wpa_supplicant -B -D nl80211 -i wlan1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

iptables -F

iptables -X

iptables -A FORWARD -o wlan1 -i br-lan -s 172.16.0.0/24 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -jACCEPT

iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE

sleep 6

udhcpc -i wlan1

Assuming you're using the nl80211 driver that should work if not you can just look at wpa_supplicant --help to see other driver options.

Pineapple kern.info kernel: [ 269.890000] wlan1: deauthenticating from (router MAC address) by local choice (reason=3)

This means that the connection has dropped with your router. Which firmware are you using ? Have you tried to manually connect with the Wifi connect script ?

sudoman · August 10, 2013

WM,

First off, thank you for your most recent update fixing your modules. Was able to get them installed fine on my Mark IV on 3.0.0.

However, still having some problems with Wifi Manager. I'm trying to use my second interface to connect to an AP in order to set up ICS that way. A couple of issues I'm having:

1. After saving and committing changes, the interface seems to connect to the AP, but upon closing and opening Wifi Manager, it shows that the interface is in monitor mode. If I stop monitor mode, the interface gets disabled, and when re-enabled I go back to where I started.

2. For a brief moment, in between re-enabling and before closing Wifi Manager, the interface does not show up as being in monitor mode, but it does not give me the option to make DHCP request under Interfaces IP.

3. Additionally, Physical Interfaces shows up as having 3 radios, as opposed to two from before the updates. Not sure which one is right but I'm pretty sure it was correct before:

Physical Interfaces
radio0	wlan1	enabled	 [xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx] [Random Mac]
radio1	-	enabled	
radio2	wlan0	enabled	 [xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx] [Random Mac]

4. The reason why I think that it does manage to connect to the AP, even though it does show up as in Monitor Mode under WIfi Manager and Site Survey is the following iwconfig output from ssh:

root@Pineapple:~# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:on

eth0      no wireless extensions.

br-lan    no wireless extensions.

And finally, one last question: to get ICS working properly, do I share wlan1 to wlan0 or wlan1 to br-lan (assuming I eventually manage to get a working connection on wlan1)?

The WiFi Manager takes all the information from this file and your file is a bit strange. Based on the content, it appears that you have 3 physical interfaces:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
config wifi-device 'radio1'
config wifi-device 'radio2'

Moreover the radio2 section is not complete and a bit strange...

I suggest that you re-flash your pineapple. I made some tests with two external physical interfaces and did not have any issues.

After using that script, neither the pineapple nor the external wifi usb adapter can be used as the 'fake' access point.

This means that the connection has dropped with your router. Which firmware are you using ? Have you tried to manually connect with the Wifi connect script ?

WM,

Thanks, re-flashing seems to have done the trick.

However, it still shows up as being in monitor mode, not allowing me to make a DHCP request. If I click on Stop Monitor, the interface gets disabled. Upon re-enabling it, it is back on monitor mode. However, if I disable the interface and the re-enable it, I can do a DHCP request successfully -- but it show up as being in monitor mode. Just a quirk but it might bug future new users.

Thanks again for the continuing support.

Could please post now the content of your /etc/config/wireless and iwconfig, ifconfig and a screenshot of the small and large tile ?

I don't have internet with tethernet so I want to manually download the network manager to connect through wifi. How can I do that?

This may have been answered already. I'm a No0B at this, I just got it. I'm still not 100% sure what the wifi manager is supposed to do besides connect my mac through ICS.

So, following your instructions, I accidentally removed one of the physical interfaces and now, when I click auto-detect, nothing shows up.

You have to install infusions through the pineapple bar to avoid problems and issues not related to the infusions itself.

I suggest that you re-flash your pineapple to get the initial configuration. I will add a confirmation message in the next version ;)

ALFA USB WiFi adapter not working as access point. Tried to turn it into an access point using the network manager infusion...

Did not work! How do i fix this?

How can i be sure the wifi adapter is not broken? The blue light is still working and wlan1 does show up in the network manager.
