The Bunny Man Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 I found a work around... and even included my work! found the script that is run by the webpage, that populates things with 'uci' and then runs wifi to reset all the interfaces (The reason I get disconnected) ran wifi got heaps of errors from /var/run/wpa_supplicant-wlan1invalid password length 1 (expected 8..63) '$"' failed to parse psk '"$"' failed to parse network bock At this point I'm assuming the system can't handle the wifi password being fed because it has a $??? check and delete file reboot and it's regenerated by system. read into /pineapple/components/system/network to find it uses uci to config things find that uni uses /etc/config directory find the wireless file and put the real password into it where there was just a $ reboot we;lp pineapple boots and connects to desired AP and grants all my dreams and wishes... save for that bug where it didn't take my password and burnt several hours of my day. Just to be sure; WebInterface -> Network -> Client Mode Disconnect verify shows disconnected, wlan1 Disabled, and red light off reboot pineapple with webinterface Follow procedure listed in first post (What I Do) section bug reproduced fix password in /etc/config/wireless (option key '$passwordthathasaUSDsignjustlikethisone') reboot (command line since I'm there) workaround verified Hopefully that should be more than enough to find said bug and repair...

Sebkinne Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Resetting wlan0 is expected. You should only drop for a second or two. I just pushed an update to the WiFi Pineapple Bar fixing your password issues. Best regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
