Problem seeing devices (karma issue)

[RKLinke]

For the past couple of days now I can’t see any devices
listed, in the past when I started KARMA I would see the list of devices connected
to my pineapple now nothing, I get the below message

IP address HW type Flags HW address Mask Device 172.16.42.42
0x1 0x2 10:1f:74:14:61:d9 * br-lan KARMA: DISABLED

I will cut & past my log, also I’m on firmware version
2.7.0 and have been using my pineapple for a year or so….

Not sure what the 'can't
create' is or when it started....

Any advice would be great!

What happens when you disable karma and then re-enable it via the gui?

Are the clients connecting supposed to be connecting to an encrypted AP, if so, they won't connect to the pineapple.

-Foxtrot

[RKLinke]

-Foxtrot Can you explain in more detail......

In the past before 2.7.0 upgrade I would see users? but you are correct the AP they would connect to is encrypted...

Anyway to test?? Should I open up my AP to test, don't like doing that but I guess for 10min would be ok....

Thanks

[Foxtrot]

The way Karma works is by dimpling saying "Yes, I'm your home router" or "Hello, I'm Hotel Wifi!", the client then says "Okay! Lets be buddy's again!". But if your home router or Hotel Wifi needs a password, the client will not connect because a client with an authorised wifi profile (auto connect to Hotel Wifi) cannot connect to an AP with no password. You see the clash?

Hopefully should clarify more :)
