Unorganized Notes

Attempt to set Hood up as an access point without disrupting its wire less. They appear to be mutually exclusive. I'll continue to use an HW access point instead.

• Graphical Access-Point Setup
• Manual Access-Point Setup

hostapd

 iw list
 
sudo apt-get install hostapd
sudo emacs /etc/default/hostapd &

create the following new file

sudo emacs /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf&

https://www.aelius.com/njh/subnet_sheet.html

 sudo emacs interfaces&

 cat interfaces.accesspoint 
 # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
 auto lo
 iface lo inet loopback
 
 auto wlan0
 iface wlan0 inet dhcp 
     	    wpa-ssid ROSWorkshop
           wpa-psk  eagle705nest

cont hostapd

AP is in the supported list

 iw list 
 ...
       Supported interface modes:
                * IBSS
                * managed
                * AP
                * AP/VLAN

                * P2P-GO
                * Unknown mode (10)

 cd /etc/hostapd 
 sudo cp hostapd.conf hostapd.conf.org

The follow edit did a bad number of the network couldn't access external sites

 gksudo emacs hostapd.conf &
   interface=wlan0
   driver=nl80211
   ssid=test
   hw_mode=g
   channel=1

   wpa=3
   wpa_passphrase=1234567890
   wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
   wpa_pairwise=TKIP
   rsn_pairwise=CCMP

see /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

 cat hostapd.conf

   wpa_passphrase=****

 sudo service hostapd start
 [sudo] password for eepp: 
    * Starting advanced IEEE 802.11 management hostapd                      [fail]
