Hi,
I installed NAS4free 10.2.0.2 on rpi2 and I need a Wifi connection. I have a Ralink USB Wifi but I can't get to work. I'can add the adapter in the GUI.
I tried to configure from cli, it seems to be working. FreeBSD recognise after ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev run0 command, but the config lost every reboot.
Any idea?
Thanks

Re: USB WiFi adapter
It seems new kernel has changed wlan device. Please wait next build.ssjoco wrote: I installed NAS4free 10.2.0.2 on rpi2 and I need a Wifi connection. I have a Ralink USB Wifi but I can't get to work. I'can add the adapter in the GUI.
Until next image, please create wlan from CLI by hand.
Latest version support WLAN from WebGUI.
If you have old WLAN, try to remove it and re-create it.

Re: USB WiFi adapter
Hello,
Merely the same problem here under 10.2.0.2.2234 with an Edimax EW-7811Un which came with my Renkforce distributed RPi2.
As for this post: viewtopic.php?f=58&t=8834#p53591
The WLAN adapter is configured and recognised, but in AP mode it does not work:
kernel: urtwn0: HOSTAP mode not supported
And in client mode it does not connect to any of my WLAN APs (WPA2, b+g mode, SSID hidden, short preamble).
kernel: wlan0: ieee80211_new_state_locked: pending INIT -> SCAN transition lost
It also seems that the WLAN function is broken as the OPT1 configuration when used the first time before reboot lacks the "Mode" (802.11b, 802.11g, else), and when it runs after reboot, WLAN channels 12 and 13 are missing in the list??? Are these really the European WLAN channels that are programmed?
The WLAN adapter works perfectly on the RPi2 under Ubuntu Mate.
Ciao @+

Re: USB WiFi adapter
Not all card (firm/driver) have ap mode. This is not limit of NAS4Free nor FreeBSD.F8BOE wrote:kernel: urtwn0: HOSTAP mode not supported
According to the man page, urtwn need:F8BOE wrote: And in client mode it does not connect to any of my WLAN APs (WPA2, b+g mode, SSID hidden, short preamble).
legal.realtek.license_ack=1
in loader.conf. Did you set it? In NAS4Free GUI, you can set from System|Advanced|loader.conf.
Note that some previous version does not work with bridge as expected.
Please use latest NAS4Free if you want use Bridge.

Re: USB WiFi adapter
Hello,
As I wrote I use 10.2.0.2.2234...
legal.realtek.license_ack is set to 1 in loader.conf, but I guess that it needs to see it in the real loader.conf file, which is still "virtual" in an embedded installation...
This adapter definitely do not run in host mode. I tried it on my MGA4 box and it also lacks channels 12 and 13, but it works perfectly on the Ubuntu Mate on my RPi2 (on channel 12)??? Flawlessly and reliable as it should!
There are also no connection possible using my MGA4 computer (Vaio FW-54M), the driver didn't have to be installed when I plugged the adapter, so I think the driver was installed by default when I installed the OS.
As soon as possible I will try it on my only MGA5 box... Perhaps there was an update needed to the driver...
Err NOOOOOOOOOO!
It just has broken in pieces as I pulled it out of my RPi2!
For heaven's sake, DO NOT BUY ANY EDIMAX OR OTHER BULLSHITE FROM CHINA UNTIL YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR MONEY IN BAD QUALITY!
Amen.
So long bye-bye WiFi crap!
