hostapd

I made a subnet on my LAN, which is of 10.0.x.x. The main part of my local LAN is of 192.168.x.x. To make this subnet work for outside network services, I had to use bridge0. This is after setting up hostapd, and creating a route. My localnet is for instance attlocal.net. What am I allowed to...

The FreeBSD Handbook has an information how to setting up a FreeBSD access point using the WPA2-PSK. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/advanced-networking/#network-wireless-ap-wpa How to setting up a FreeBSD access point using the WPA-Enterpise? (with RADIUS end certificates)

Hello everyone. I ran into a problem, if someone could test it I would appreciate it: System: FreeBSD 14.0 - fresh install USB wifi dongle - Realtek RTL8192EU Modules: rtwn if_rtwn_usb I configure the wlan0 interface: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rtwn0 wlanmode hostap ifconfig wlan0 inet...

Hi! I'm trying to setup an AP (wired to wireless) on FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE. As I'm a complete noob on FreeBSD, I tried to follow some guides on the Internet, without success. The AP is already up and running and I connected my phone to it. The problem is that I can't ping devices inside my...

Observable behaviour Client WiFi devices cannot obtain their IP addresses when connecting to a FreeBSD-13.0 server acting as an access point (hostap). Client devices run Win8.1 and various Androids, but the exact client software seems irrelevant to the problem. Suspected technical reason Local...

Hello, So far I use pi router on raspberry pi (rpi3b+), with hostapd, i.e. sharing the net over wifi WPA2. I need a workaround since my two raspberry pi's (running debian/raspios linux) are not stable at all. The PI disconnects -- well, nothing very surprising, the networking of Linux totally...

Hello, For my PI I use on raspios PiRouter with hostapd. https://gitlab.com/openbsd98324/pirouter/ How do you install the same on FreeBSD ? (i.e. wget -c --no-check-certificate...

When I'm trying to connect to an access point setup using hostapd I get the following error codes: wlan0: STA <mac address> IEEE 802.11: associated ioctl[SIOCS80211, op=20, val=0, arg_len=7]: No such file or directory ioctl[SIOCS80211, op=20, val=0, arg_len=7]: No such file or directory...

Hostapd starts without wpa2 but doesn't start with wpa2. Have I forgotten something here? pciconf -lv for the card I'm using: rtwn0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x028000 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10ec device=0x8176 subvendor=0x10ec subdevice=0x8211 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'...

Hello everyone. I'm trying to figure out whether I'm doing something wrong or the behavior of hostapd itself is confusing (or perhaps the manual is?). I'm using hostapd to forward requests to FreeRADIUS server for EAP-TLS authentication. So I don't use hostapd's builtin RADIUS server...

I have an AP+bridge+firewall ("router") running FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE r366954 GENERIC amd64. It's roughly set up as follows: - igb0 connects to my ISP via DHCP. (Disabled while I debug this.) - bridge0 has dnsmasq running on it as a DHCP server and DNS server. (Only dynamic addresses at the...

Is it possible to directly access a USB device in a jail? I came across this article: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/usb-passthrough-to-iocage-jail.73292/ It seems possible to do so from that article. If it is possible, would it make sense to create a Linux jail that has raw access to a...

I have a TP-LINK TL-WN722N and an Alfa AWUS1900 that I'd like to use for an access point. I currently use the TL-WN722N on Linux for an access point. I do not see either of these listed as supported here: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.1R/hardware.html Is that accurate? If so, it seems...

Does anybody has USB WLAN card to recommend for running AP (hostapd)? I tried multiple run and urtwn cards but they are not stable - don't know how to precise debug network setup but there are dropped pings to Internet, sometimes internet won't work but ssh-ing to another machine will work...

I am going to setup aircrack-ng to see just how long it takes to crack my passphrase. Then set hostapd.conf to rotate keys to try and defeat any intrusion attempts that way. Has anyone ever messed with net-mgmt/aircrack-ng on FreeBSD? My current hostapd.conf snippet that I might need to...

Hello All, I am attempting to find out what my issue is with my FreeBSD Router that I am attempting to build. I have set up the following tools on my OS on my router: HostAPD DNSMasq PF All of which appear to work and I can route through the AP. However; I am not getting nearly the speeds or...

I have multiple wireless access points here, and I'm trying to optimize the hostapd beacon_int value. The default of 100ms would seem to waste bandwidth, so I've increased the value to ~1 second. I've noticed that with all access point beacons set to a 1 second interval, sometimes one ap's...

Hello folks. I got this APU2C4 last week to use as all in one router, firewall, AP with FreeBSD 11. It has two mini PCIe Compex WLE200NX that uses the Atheros AR9280 chipset. I am going to be posting my configuration, hoping that someone can shed some light on what I am doing wrong. # hostapd...

Hi! I have RPi 2 with FreeBSD 11 installed. I have 2000 mA power supply. Also, I have hostapd installed and next kernel modules loaded: Id Refs Address Size Name 1 45 0xc0100000 a3f4fc kernel 2 1 0xc2e53000 28000 if_urtwn.ko 3 1 0xc2e2a000 b000 firmware.ko 4 1...

Greetings, I have 8 static (internet) IP's for my home network. The topology is thus: cable-modem<---16-port-switch<---hosts/clients So given that all the boxes w/static IP's provide internet services. I've decided that the best way to service all my home "clients" and devices, would be to...
