Sebkinne Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Hey Masler77, My assumption is that you have a corrupt wireless configuration. To fix it, please execute the following: wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless This command (written with the redirection, exactly like this) will restore your wireless configuration to stock. In case this does not fix your issue though, please perform a factory reset on your WiFi Pineapple MKV. You can do this over the webinterface or using the DIP switches. I hope this helps!

jskora Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I have had similar problems with wlan1 deactivating on a MK5 running firmware 1.0.4. The only way to get wlan1 back is with another reset and re-flash. When gone, it doesn't show in the GUI or CLI commands. Trying to reset it results in a message like "PHY for wifi device radio1 not found". My "/etc/config/wireless" is the default from the re-flash. When I run "wifi detect", as suggested above, I get a blank response. Does that make any sense? root@Pineapple:~# wifi detect root@Pineapple:~# Any help is greatly appreciated.

jskora Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 As another data point, if I connect a USB adapter and run wifi detect it does produce the configuration for the new device. But it still does not include the original devices built into the Pineapple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
