MrBrew Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hey all, New to the community, and new to the Pineapple in general. I've been having fun experimenting with my new pineapple that I received a short time ago, which has the 3.0.0 software working on it. My issue comes in understanding what is going on within the Karma interface. I have routinely tried to set the BSSID as something arbitrary, something other than my standard 'pineapple 90:1a' bssid. I've also been attempting to discover how Karma works, but still haven't gotten any device besides a wii or an android phone to auto associate to my pineapple. So, I have attempted to change my BSSID to 'linksys', and have attempted to make it 'persistent'. Yet, when any type of mesurable time occurs, the bssid defaults back to 'pineapple 90:1a'. This has occurred at least 6 times so far. I'd like to hear your guys' feedback about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrot Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Currently, persistant SSiDs are broken. You can set an SSiD, but after a reboot, it will default back to the pineapple xx:xx address, where xx:xx are the last two octets of your pineapples wifi radio mac address. As for karma, Only devices that remember an open network will connect to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBrew Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Thank you for the helpful information! Is there any other helpful posts or documents that can help me learn more about Karma besides the Wiki and the pineapple booklet?

Foxtrot Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The way karma works is very well described on the homepage of the pineapple, Other than that try using the search function on this forum and crawl :) Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slynx Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I know this has already been answered but the way I configured my ssid was by editing the /etc/config/wireless file. I had the same issue setting it through the web interface (firmware 3.0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
