Failed to start hostapd for phy0

[LinuxDad]

I'm tracking down the issues with the Radio not starting on reboot.

I removed the opkg_manager, and found that it did not clean up the /etc/rc.local file, so we need to edit the file as follows:

#/usb/modules/networkmanager/autostart.sh

Because of the error in the Log:

00:01:08 Pineapple user.info sysinit: /etc/rc.local: line 7: /usb/modules/networkmanager/autostart.sh: not found

The next error I've found is the following:

00:01:08 Pineapple user.info sysinit: Failed to start hostapd for phy0

00:01:08 Pineapple user.info sysinit: Failed to connect to hostapd - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory

There is also the additional error, which should also be followed up on:

00:01:08 Pineapple user.info sysinit: sh: write error: Invalid argument

00:01:08 Pineapple user.info sysinit: sh: write error: Invalid argument

Suggestions?

Where has it got phy0 from? The wireless on the pineapples is wlan0.

I have no ideas, do you?

Off the top of my head no, I'm buried deep in work and fixing something else at the moment, hopefully someone else can help. If not I'll see what I can do when I get chance.

If you've had to modify files then it might be worth reinstalling the latest firmware and starting again, see if it works straight out of the box then start making changes.

The radio not mounting/starting after a reboot is an ongoing issue with external wifi adapters

[LinuxDad]

Thanks for the follow-up guys.

First of all, this is not an external Wifi. It's the built in.

Second of all, I flashed the firmware, and started over. This is not really solving the issue with the software not performing as expected, but it gets me back operational again. Thank you everyone for your updates and suggestions.
