St3v3 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 In order to get the most of my Pineapple I want to use it as a simple AP while it's not being used for anything else, mainly to get wifi into the darker corners of the house. It looks like it should try to get a dhcp lease for eth0 (like it does in client mode for wlan). To be sure, I also tried running udhcp directly. Actually, the problem may be more fundamental (or my understanding more fundamentally flawed), I tried to manually configure an IP address, netmask and default route for eth0, but I couldn't get any traffic to flow that way.... What am I doing wrong ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St3v3 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Update: Ok, I've found that the "Wifi Manager" infusion (Very nice, btw), has an ICS option that makes this easy to configure. However, I would like to acheive the same effect using a custom dip switch setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THCMinister Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Create the wireless config copy it to a directory and then have a DIP switch copy it to the config directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St3v3 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Ahhh, yes, that was the tip, knowing about the wireless config, also I note the need to run the 'wifi' change. This is now all done in a bash script, for ease of maintenance :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THCMinister Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 You could also set some logic in your script to determine which wireless config to load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
