leathalinjexion Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Is it just me or is the Network Client Tab in the network configuration block tied specifically to wlan0? whenever I use it to connect to an AP things go haywire and I end up having to reset back to factory. Which radio is that tied to and where is the other one? I have installed the wifi manager but that seems a bit buggy as well, Im really just trying to get a baring on what things are and what they are intended to do so I can put the to use and or better identify bugs etc......

thesugarat Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 The client tab is using wlan1. It has an issue with setting the encryption type incorrectly. You can actually fix it with the WiFi Manager infusion. There's another post where I explain the details. You should not have to resort to a factory reset.

Mr-Protocol Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 wlan1 is used for client mode according to my sources lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leathalinjexion Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Shiny. I was thinking it was tied to wlan0 because it seems to boot me off wlan0 whenever I try using it to connect, but I havent tested that thoroughly, probably a result of other variables in play. I've tinkered with the suggestion from the thread on the encryption recommendation but havent been getting reliable results. Currently tim getting he best results for me when I connect eth0 directly to a computer and ics or tether my android phone, which actually is the simplest so far. I'm sure Seb and Darren are already aware of this but its sort of confusing seeing the tab and having wlan1 off by default, a nice addition would be a simple on/off toggle for wlan1 in that tab so we know they are related and so we can turn it on if needed.

Mr-Protocol Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 wlan1 auto turns on when client mode is attempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leathalinjexion Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Are you sure about his, I was messing with it tonight and on my box it doesnt turn on wlan1 it changes wlan0 into client mode and connects with wlan0 which means I have to then connect it to br-lan in order to turn it off.

Sebkinne Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Sounds very weird, it should be using wlan1. I suggest a re-flash. A tutorial will be up in the next 3h. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottHelme Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 This command at least got me back up and running without a factory reset: rm /etc/config/wireless && wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless && reboot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
