0unknwn / auto-hotspot Goto Github PK

As the title states, I am not seeing a hotspot created when using the manual commands in the auto-hotspot script.

I’m using a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ with Stretch (updated).

Is there a reason who the resolve.conf file is always set to use a loop back ip? My use case needs the pi to be able to resolve a dns address, but from what I've found, it cannot do this due this file not correctly allowing the domain to get resolved. Is there any way to get around this an allow for domains to get resolved when in wifi client mode? Let me know if there is any other information you need.

Hey.
Is there a way to remove your setup and get the old network program back?
A kind of „remove“ or deinstall?

Regards

Hi,

I am using this /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf:

country=DE
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
ap_scan=1
update_config=1

### auto hotspot ###
network={
        priority=0
        ssid="autohotspot"
        mode=2
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk="hotspotpassword"
        frequency=2462
}

### my network ###

network={
        ssid="My regular Wifi network"
        psk="Some wrong password to test auto hotspot"
}

Since I didn't see the hotspot I connected the raspberry via ethernet to connect to it and check what's the problem.
When running sudo auto-hotspot --start-ap I get the following error:
Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wlan0 error: No such file or directory

Within the other issue I saw that you wanted to see the output of ip l so here it is:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether b8:27:eb:8d:36:43 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether b8:27:eb:d8:63:16 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

What do I need to do to get auto hotspot to run correctly?

OS = Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Model = Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2

Hello!

I have a updated bullseye running on a raspberry 3A
I did the install steps and configured the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-device.conf
like in the example but with

also when i try to sudo auto-hotspot --start-ap
i get the message: failed to connect to non-global ctrl_iframe: wlan0 error
I´m out off ideas where to troubleshoot

I just confirmed that priority=0 works as a lower priority than other networks, so instead of adding priority to the other networks, just set the ap section...

After running this script or using the instructions SSH appears to be broken upon reboot. I unfortunatly do not have a micro hdmi cable yet but once I will experiment more. this is on a Pi 4B 2GB and 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf

H, with the latest buster lite i get Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wlan0 error: No such file or directory. When the script executes wpa_cli. Couldnt find a fix for it.
