Small Problem....
July 16, 2015 05:47PM
I'm trying to set up an old laptop (running Xubuntu) to be a PirateBox, and at the very end of the install prosses... I hit a snag, I have reviewed the terminal multiple times, and this is the first error that came up. I followed thesteps to the letter and have no clue what the problem is, although I think it may be in one of the ".conf" files, but I don't want to go changing things if I have no reason to. so at the end of the steps it basicly says to run this command: <sudo /etc/init.d/piratebox start> and it all looks fine and dandy until it gets to here:

Bringing up wifi interface wlan0
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
...failed
* failed setting up Interface

I vaguely know what this means, but I'm unsure of a solution.
thank you in advance to all those who help me with this problem....

Hi,
can you figure out which is the device name of your wifi card in your running linux?
Maybe you need to adjust the /opt/piratebox/conf/hostapd.conf & /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf for that.

best regards
Matthias
