Getting WiFi AP working with hostapd and isc-dhcp-server [Xubuntu 14.04]












5














I have tried using ap-hotspot from WebUpd8, and it did not work for me in 13.10 or 14.04, so I have been working on getting hostapd manually set up, using isc-dhcp-server since dnsmasq was having conflicts for me. I have been able to connect to the AP, and get an IP, but routing does not seem to want to work. Here is my build log and the guides I have been following:

}


/etc/rc.local:



iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.10.0.0/32 -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
exit 0


The following commands were run:



sudo ifconfig wlan0 10.10.0.1
sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
sudo ip link set dev wlan0 up
sudo service hostapd start


I have installed bridge-utils, but I have not added br0 yet because I am not sure how to change the other parts of my config to reflect it...



Edit:
After double checking my configs through another (older) guide, tried again and decided to add what shows up in the logs when something connects. The device connecting is my android phone, which connects fine through normal routers.



(I understand most of what is going on in the logs, and startup looks fine. Then scrolling randomness...)

      I have tried using ap-hotspot from WebUpd8, and it did not work for me in 13.10 or 14.04, so I have been working on getting hostapd manually set up, using isc-dhcp-server since dnsmasq was having conflicts for me. I have been able to connect to the AP, and get an IP, but routing does not seem to want to work. Here is my build log and the guides I have been following:

      sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
      sudo ip link set dev wlan0 up
      sudo service hostapd start


      I have installed bridge-utils, but I have not added br0 yet because I am not sure how to change the other parts of my config to reflect it...



      Edit:
      After double checking my configs through another (older) guide, tried again and decided to add what shows up in the logs when something connects. The device connecting is my android phone, which connects fine through normal routers.

          Try the following



          sudo apt-get install hostapd dnsmasq dhcp3-server isc-dhcp-server haveged




          Setting up hostapd



          hostapd is for wireless router functionality:



          leafpad /etc/hostapd.conf


          General Hotspot Configurations:



          Define interface



          interface=wlan#
          bridge=br0


          Select driver:



          driver=nl80211


          Set access point hardware mode to 802.11a/b/g/n (hw supports?):



          hw_mode=g
          logger_stdout=-1

          country_code=US
          disassoc_low_ack=1


          Set Wi-Fi channel:



          channel=6


          Set access point name:



          ssid=nametobroacdcast
          ignore_broadcast_ssid=0


          Set encryption standard (1 for WPA, 2 for WPA2, 3 for WPA + WPA2):



          auth_algs=1
          wpa=3

          # Can replace with “dhcpd” or “isc-hdcp-server”

          # Start HOSTAPD

          Start setup DNS/DHCP



          dnsmasq dhcp3-server isc-dhcp-server is for DNS/DHCP functionality (choose one):



          Example:

          range 192.168.3.2, 192.168.3.100;
          }




          Allow ./#####.sh script created to run



          Make hostapdfilecreated.sh executable:



          sudo chmod +x nameoffilecreated.sh


          You have to be inside the directory where ######.sh file resides, cd into it then run command.



          Execute script to start computer-based access point broadcasting:
