Hi,
I just bought an USB dongle nano Netis WF-2120 adapter.
I want to set it up on my headless Debian Wheezy server as a Wireless
Access Point.
I'm trying to follow these steps here:
http://www.daveconroy.com/turn-your-raspberry-pi-into-a-wifi-hotspot-with-edimax-nano-usb-ew-7811un-rtl8188cus-chipset/
lsusb shows it as:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS
802.11n WLAN Adapter
I also installed debian packages hostapd and firmware-realtek, and now I
don't know what steps I need more to get this working?
I want to use the ifupdown method described in the
/usr/share/doc/hostapd/README.Debian file.
However, I can't find the installed driver, and I don't know how can I
load it as a kernel module?

that is needed from my USB Wireless Adapter,
sudo modinfo rtl8192cu | grep 17AB
I get the following error:
libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod.c:505
kmod_lookup_alias_from_builtin_file: could not open builtin file
'/lib/modules/2.6.39.4-4/modules.builtin.bin'
ERROR: Module rtl8192cu not found.
Whta could be the problem here?

I already have installed firmware-realtek, but still wifi adapter
doesn't work.
I can't to load the kernel module at all:

Power PC. ( One can see about the Bubba 3 here:
http://www.excitostore.com/ ). There are no more Bubba | Two out there..
I have had remove the Bubba stuff ( packages ) and had installed only
Debian GNU/Linux Sqweeze, and when Wheezy com out as a stable release, I
upgraded Squeeze to Wheezy on my headless Bubba | Two Power PC.
My sources.list on this system is now:
<quote>
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://b3.update.excito.org/ stable main
</quote>
Maybe this is the problem, because a few months ago the last line abowe
was:
deb http://update.excito.org/ stable main
Yesterday when I want to update the Bubba system, this link:
deb http://update.excito.org/ stable main
doesn't works any more, so I found the link:
deb http://b3.update.excito.org/ stable main
which I'm being using now.
So, again, maybe this is not right link for my Wheezy system..
This is because the linux image, the kernel is not supported yet by the
Debian package management ( as I know ) for this peace of hardware, and
the kernel must updated from excito.org.

My question is there and here the same:
Can I just download the
http://b3.update.excito.org/pool/main/l/linux/bubba3-kernel_2.6.39.4-13_powerpc.deb
kernel and can I install it with
dpkg -i bubba3-kernel_2.6.39.4-13_powerpc.deb
command?

http://wiki.excito.org/wiki/index.php/Building_a_custom_kernel
and there are mentioned the following version of the kernel source:
http://b3.update.excito.org/pool/main/l/linux/linux_2.6.39.4-13.dsc
so I think that that it should be safe to install the binary
bubba3-kernel_2.6.39.4-13_powerpc.deb, that I downloaded from the abowe
mentioned link ( http://b3.update.excito.org/pool/main/l/linux/... ),
right?

Download the kernel and look inside it (I would use mc) to see what
drivers it provides.

it with MC. I searched for string '8192' in it but don't find anything.
Maybe I should build a custom kernel as described here:
http://wiki.excito.org/wiki/index.php/Building_a_custom_kernel
and follow the advices described here:

when I plug in the WiFi usb adapter, lsusb shows the following:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS
802.11n WLAN Adapter
and on the webpage https://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x there is this davice
802.11n WLAN Adapter
listed:
USB: 0BDA:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN
Adapter
On the web page: https://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x there I found the
following information:
rtl8192cu (supported devices)
Supports USB devices based on the RTL8188CUS and RTL8192CU chips.
Introduced in Linux 2.6.39, enabled at
linux-2.6 2.6.39~rc7-1~experimental.1.
So now what should I do to get this USB Wifi adapter works?

sooner. I'd just noticed that it wasn't mentioned in the thread.
Did you install the matching headers? Do you get a match on the chipset
series when greping through the likely modules after piping through string?
I did notice that chipset appearing in a list of aliases on that wiki
page - that's one thing I'd check for. You could also check with the
author of that wiki page (it's not one of mine).
I don't have a similar chipset or much experience with wifi in general
so it's very unlikely I could offer more help than you are already getting.

Will the source for the kernel have the module you need?

It might be less trouble to buy wifi device which is supported by your
present kernel.

Realtek RTL8192CU/RTL8188CU USB Wireless Network Adapter
module
in the
Linux/powerpc 2.6.39.4-4 Kernel Configuration / \
Device Drivers / Network device support / Wireless LAN
In menuconfig I saved the setup in to .config file.
But when I run after 'make menuconfig' the 'make' command, I get error message:
arch/powerpc/kernel/align.c: In function ‘fix_alignment’:

Wheezy system.
Now when I have installed the gcc-4.4, I made a symbolic link:
ls -l /usr/bin/gcc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 febr 2 06:34 /usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-4.4
The gcc symbolic link are linked before this to the /usr/bin/gcc-4.6.
Now I'm running the 'make' command in the kernel source file with the
.config setup file. Sofar it is successfull, but it is ongoing yet. I'm
waiting the make command to terminate successfull.

That looks like it's about getting compilation errors, but you seem to
have compiled fine so I don't think it's relevant.

Hi Selim,
I have finally compiled and installed the custom 2.6.39.4-13 kernel with
modules too.
What I did is the following.
I download the kernel debian packages
bubba3-kernel_2.6.39.4-13_powerpc.deb
bubba3-kernel-headers-powerpc_2.6.39.4-13_powerpc.deb
from here:
http://b3.update.excito.org/pool/main/l/linux/
then I installed these two debian packages, and reboot the Bubba 2
headless PC Box successfully.
After that I did follow the steps described here:
http://wiki.excito.org/wiki/index.php/Building_a_custom_kernel
with the small exception:
In menuconfig I check the needed module:
===========
arch/powerpc/configs/bubbatwo_defconfig - Linux/powerpc 2.6.39.4 Kernel
Configuration
Linux/powerpc 2.6.39.4 Kernel Configuration
Device Drivers -->
Netword Device Support -->
Wireless LAN -->
cp arch/powerpc/configs/bubbatwo_defconfig .config
make
sudo make modules_install
This did install the modules in the right place.
Now I'm trying to setup the network and interfaces so get the usb
wireless adapter to works.
I'm following the advices described here:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-setting-wireless-access-point/
and here:
https://agentoss.wordpress.com/2011/10/31/creating-a-wireless-access-point-with-debian-linux/
sofar without success..
When I run the command bellow:
sudo hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
I get the messages:
random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Line 6: invalid/unknown driver 'rtl8192sfw'
1 errors found in configuration file '/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf'
I tried with driver names: rtl8192cu, rtlwifi to, but without any
success.
Which drivername is walid? How can I find the proper drivername for my
usb wireless network adapter?

and here:
https://agentoss.wordpress.com/2011/10/31/creating-a-wireless-access-point-with-debian-linux/
sofar without success..
When I run the command bellow:
sudo hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
I get the messages:
random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Line 6: invalid/unknown driver 'rtl8192sfw'
1 errors found in configuration file '/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf'
I tried with driver names: rtl8192cu, rtlwifi to, but without any
success.
Which drivername is walid? How can I find the proper drivername for my
usb wireless network adapter?

new interface, the wlanN, where the N is a number, from 1 to 5 so far.
How can I setup this, to always get the wlan0 name of the wifi interface?

if it's there (I don't have one I can check at present) then edit the
entry matching the correct MAC address and change it's name from wlanN
to wlan0, then remove the other wlanN lines. You'll need to be root to
edit the file.

Yes. ifup only does something if the net device is not up already.

You set it to manual (so it's off somewhere reading the manual?) ;p

It's there, but you haven't specified it e.g.:-
# iwconfig wlan0
which is why iwconfig it's trying all of the *configured* network devices.
man interfaces <snipped section>
"The manual Method
This method may be used to define interfaces for which *no*
configuration is done by default. Such interfaces can be configured
manually by means of up and down commands or /etc/net‐work/if-*.d scripts."
What I take that to mean is - that unless you have something in
/etc/network/if-*.d then the if up/down commands need to be qualified.
.i.e issuing:-
# ifup wlan0
is interpreted as "do nothing to wlan0". Compare that to "ifup eth1"
which is interpreted as "ifup eth1 <use settings from section in
interfaces>"

eth0
Bubba Two headless powerpc box -> wlan0 - USB wifi adapter )))
eth1

switch
\
eth0
Debian SID desktop
))) laptop
))) android mobile phone
So I want to setup Bubba Two for my home wifi LAN for laptop and android
mobile phone.
My /etc/network/interfaces file is now, without the WiFi setup:
<interfaces>
auto lo br0
iface lo inet loopback
# Internet on eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
# LAN on eth1
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.10.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
</interfaces>
# Internet on eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
# LAN on eth1
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.10.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
and with WiFi setup ( that doesn't work yet ):
<interfaces>
auto lo br0
iface lo inet loopback
# Internet on eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
# Internet on eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
# LAN on eth1
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.10.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0 wlan0
</interfaces>
When I use this latter, I can't reach the Internet from my Debian SID
desktop, but can to ssh to my Bubba 2.
Moreover, with the latter interfaces setup, when I run the command as
root:
hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
I lose the ssh connection from desktop to Bubba.
The /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf file is now:
<hostapd.conf>
### Wireless network name ###
interface=wlan0
### Set your bridge name ###
bridge=br0
driver=nl80211
country_code=RS
ieee80211d=1
ssid=Cs5P3
hw_mode=g
channel=6
wme_enabled=0
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase='*********************'
## Key management algorithms ##
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
## Set cipher suites (encryption algorithms) ##
## TKIP = Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
## CCMP = AES in Counter mode with CBC-MAC
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
auth_algs=1
## Accept all MAC address ###
macaddr_acl=0
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
## Shared Key Authentication ##
</hostapd.conf>
This setup doesn't work. Why?
Any advices will be appreciated!

Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd-minimal.conf
rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device
Failed to update rate sets in kernel module
Could not connect to kernel driver.
and at this point I lose the ssh connection with Bubba.
What can I do to solve this problem?
I think I should buy another USB Wireless Adapter with Realtek RTL8187B
chipset (802.11G) or the Atheros AR9170 chipset (802.11N). Right?

rtl8192cu and reboot with this kernel. So the kernel part of the setup
is OK now.
I also have installed the firmware-realtek debian package which contains
the following among others:
Realtek RTL8192CU/RTL8188CU firmware (rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin)
I edited the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
and have the following line that determine the wlan0 interface:
# USB device 0x:0x (rtl8192cu)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", \
ATTR{address}=="00:e0:4c:81:92:*", ATTR{dev_id} \
=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0"
The ATTR{address}=="00:e0:4c:81:92:*" option determine that that
whenever I plug in again this usb wifi adapter to the usb port, I get
always the wlan0 name for this interface. Here is the "*" character is
the relevant, because that part of the mac address changes always, when
one plug in the adapter again and again.

Regardnig to the web page:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/hostapd
<quote>
All new mac80211 based drivers that implement AP functionality are
supported with hostapd's nl80211 driver.
</quote>
so, I think I must to use the 'nl80211' nema for the driver in the
hostapd.conf file.
However, I'm still trying to set this to work. I'm trying to test
hostapd by using the file hostapd-minimal.conf:
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=test
channel=1
bridge=br0
<end of file>
and when I run the following command:
csanyipal@b2:~$ sudo hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd-minimal.conf
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd-minimal.conf
rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device
Could not set interface mon.wlan0 flags: No such device
rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device
nl80211: Failed to set interface wlan0 into AP mode
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
but does'n lose the ssh connection anymore with Bubba Two. :)
Now I have the followings in my interfaces file:
auto lo br0
iface lo inet loopback
# Internet on eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
# Internet on eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
# wifi on wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
# for dhcp address
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0 wlan0
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0 wlan0
# I want to remain my wired LAN
# LAN on eth1
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.10.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet static

netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.10.0

broadcast 192.168.10.255
gateway 192.168.10.1
dns-search localdomain
<end of file>
With this setup I can't only reach the Internet, but can to ssh into
Bubba Two.
The command sudo ifconfig gives to me the followings:

How can I setup my home network so I can use wifi AP and the eth1 LAN at
same time?
What can I do further to get this works?
Any advices will be appreciated!

Csanyi Pal, 2.03.2014:
(Some devices don't support it, as far as I know.) I don't remember the
exact command, but you should be able to do it using iw or iwconfig.
Several questions, for clarification:
You ssh from your sid desktop into the Bubba Two, right?
Do you define a static IP on your sid desktop for this?
It's the desktop that can't reach the Internet, right?
Once you ssh into the Bubba Two, can you reach the Internet on the
command line of the Bubba Two?
Were you able to reach the Internet from you desktop, going through the
Bubba Two, before attempting to se up the AP? (If not, I think you
should try to achieve that first, before confusing things further
with the AP setup)
For the AP, the diagram you sent in earlier messages showed it being
attached to eth0. Is that correct? I would have thought it should be
attached to your LAN (thus to eth0).
Do you plan to define static IP addresses on the wireless devices you'll
use with your AP, or are you planning on using dhcp?

Can you check whether your device is capable of being put into AP mode?

I missed the first part of this thread. Which chip does your wifi
device contain?
Your driver specification below doesn't look right. And bridging isn't
necessary to set up an AP on one NIC and access to the internet from
that via the second NIC.
