How to set WPA2 password on PirateBox 1.1 (Openwrt)
October 28, 2016 12:06PM
Hi guys,

I'm sorry, a searched a LOT for this, but I can't find anything which is working.

I've done this on a piratebox (1.0), and the same thing on 1.1 version is not working (wireless seems not able to start)

For example, I did this :

config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'
option channel '11'
option hwmode '11ng'
option path 'pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0'
option htmode 'HT20'
list ht_capab 'SHORT-GI-40'
list ht_capab 'TX-STBC'
list ht_capab 'RX-STBC1'
list ht_capab 'DSSS_CCK-40'
option disabled '0'

config wifi-iface
option device 'radio0'
option network 'lan'
option mode 'ap'
option ssid 'PirateBox - Share Freely'
option encryption 'psk2'
option key 'your password'

But wifi doesn't start.

Changing SSID works, but I a try a password, wifi don't start.

Any idea ?

Thanks you

Hi,
do you see any error messages? Any messages in dmesg output ?

I am wondering...

Damn, I'm late !

No error message, the wifi just doesn't start when I plug the alimentation

can you verify if there is wpa_supplicant installed on the system?
