Jun 27 15:47:36 <blathijs> khanku: I committed a bunch of stuff (in particular wifi client mode) last weekend
Jun 27 16:15:41 <khanku> blathijs: saw that this morning
Jun 27 16:16:34 <khanku> I ran make this morning a work and just saw it stopped with an error
Jun 27 16:16:51 <blathijs> hmm, I haven't tried a clean make since a while
Jun 27 16:16:54 <blathijs> what's the error?
Jun 27 16:18:31 <khanku> blathijs: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/633714/
Jun 27 16:18:40 <blathijs> thanks
Jun 27 16:19:18 <blathijs> Hmm, funky
Jun 27 16:19:23 <blathijs> You're compiling for 2.0g?
Jun 27 16:19:29 <khanku> 2.0n
Jun 27 16:19:34 <khanku> let me just check
Jun 27 16:20:19 <khanku> I was indeed compiling for 2.0g...
Jun 27 16:21:09 <khanku> I must have deleted the .config at some point
Jun 27 16:21:12 <khanku> sorry about that
Jun 27 16:21:36 <blathijs> That's probably the cause of the error as well
Jun 27 16:21:52 <blathijs> switching architectures is not handled gracefully somewhere
Jun 27 16:22:02 <blathijs> Happened to me more times I can count as well ;-)
Jun 27 16:24:00 <khanku> :o)
Jun 27 16:24:24 <khanku> it seems to be compiling alright now
Jun 27 16:25:00 <blathijs> cool
Jun 27 17:11:59 <blathijs> khanku: I just had a stab at implementing wifi-bridge mode as well, btw (comining the wifi client with bridge mode without NAT)
Jun 27 17:12:17 <blathijs> khanku: Compiling that now
Jun 27 17:13:09 <khanku> blathijs: sounds good
Jun 27 17:14:43 <blathijs> If it fits your usecase, I could provide the patch for testing after some basic testing of mine?
Jun 27 17:15:11 <khanku> blathijs: sure, I'd like to test that
Jun 27 17:15:44 <blathijs> k :-)
Jun 27 18:25:08 <khanku> blathijs: compiled and flashed the latest svn
Jun 27 18:25:37 <khanku> so how much is supposed to be running?
Jun 27 18:57:41 <blathijs> khanku: How do you mean, "how much" ?
Jun 27 18:58:04 <blathijs> wifi mode should be fully functional, with NAT
Jun 27 18:58:21 <khanku> mhm, well, I see the "wifi" connection type and am able to configure it
Jun 27 18:58:35 <khanku> but it doesn't seem to do anything
Jun 27 19:03:17 <blathijs> hmm
Jun 27 19:03:58 <blathijs> khanku: Do you have a /sbin/ap_client executable?
Jun 27 19:06:00 <khanku> I do
Jun 27 19:08:52 <blathijs> hmm
Jun 27 19:08:57 <blathijs> khanku: Is it running?
Jun 27 19:09:05 <khanku> nope
Jun 27 19:09:20 <khanku> I'm trying to connect to the AP from the command line
Jun 27 19:09:35 <khanku> "No signal found to connect to
Jun 27 19:09:45 <blathijs> khanku: What happens if you run "ap_client SSID WPA-KEY" ?
Jun 27 19:09:47 <khanku> that would explain it
Jun 27 19:09:54 <blathijs> Where did you get that message?
Jun 27 19:10:16 <khanku> running /sbin/ap_clint <ssid> <psk>
Jun 27 19:11:08 <blathijs> you catch on quickly :-)
Jun 27 19:11:33 <blathijs> Does it list your SSID in the output?
Jun 27 19:12:11 <khanku> it doesn't
Jun 27 19:12:47 <khanku> well I'm more comfortable with wpa_{cli,supplicant}, but there is '--help' :)
Jun 27 19:12:59 <khanku> apcli0 is not associated
Jun 27 19:12:59 <khanku> Scanning for networks... 0   0
Jun 27 19:12:59 <khanku> No signal found to connect to
Jun 27 19:13:07 <khanku> so... no
Jun 27 19:14:49 <khanku> this is really strange (I take it '0 0' means it doesn't find any network) as there are a dozen of wifi network around here and mine is definitely strong enough to be received
Jun 27 19:17:51 <blathijs> You could try running ap_client without arguments, it should do a scan and then show all SSIDs found
Jun 27 19:18:11 <blathijs> Hmm, I wonder where those "0    0" come from
Jun 27 19:19:00 <khanku> they are actually on a separate line, irssi somehow messed with the formatting
Jun 27 19:19:03 <blathijs> lemme check the ap_client sources (it's just a tiny custom tool written by Fon, btw)
Jun 27 19:20:19 <khanku> after a fresh boot, 'ps aux |grep ap' doesn't show anything and neither does '/sbin/ap_client'
Jun 27 19:20:41 <blathijs> both are weird (and probably separate problems)
Jun 27 19:20:44 <khanku> (ok, good to know)
Jun 27 19:21:07 <blathijs> Can't find anything that would print zeroes in the source :-)
Jun 27 19:21:15 <blathijs> so something is fishy
Jun 27 19:21:49 <khanku> I can still see the wifi I configured in the WebUI (ssid, password, dhcp)
Jun 27 19:22:26 <khanku> oh wait
Jun 27 19:22:52 <khanku> I just remembered there is a wifi "kill switch" on the fonera2n
Jun 27 19:23:57 <khanku> that's embarassing
Jun 27 19:24:52 <blathijs> Hmm, but I'm not sure that should kill the wifi client as well
Jun 27 19:25:01 <blathijs> or are you trying to connect to another 2.0n?
Jun 27 19:25:26 <khanku> no, to a "normal" AP
Jun 27 19:25:41 <khanku> flipping the switch starts ap_client
Jun 27 19:25:54 <khanku> and running it manually shows the expected output
Jun 27 19:26:10 <blathijs> hmkay
Jun 27 19:26:28 <blathijs> Not sure if that's a useful feature, but well :-)
Jun 27 19:26:56 <blathijs> I guess showing a "wifi disabled with switch" in the dashboard might be a useful feature anyway
Jun 27 19:30:44 <khanku> definitely
Jun 27 19:45:20 <blathijs> So, it's working for you now?
Jun 27 19:46:18 <blathijs> (I'm away every now and then, trying to get my wifi-bridge mode working. Apparently I screwed up somewhere, yay for serial access :-) )
Jun 27 19:47:52 <khanku> seems to be
Jun 27 19:50:17 <khanku> yes it does!
Jun 27 19:50:29 <khanku> just check with my laptop and traceroute
Jun 27 19:50:37 <khanku> blathijs: good work and thanks :)
Jun 27 19:55:21 <blathijs> awesome :-)
Jun 27 19:57:11 <khanku> indeed :)
Jun 27 20:38:58 <blathijs> Awesome, this seems to work
Jun 27 20:38:59 <blathijs> :-)
Jun 27 20:39:19 <blathijs> I'm not quite sure if switching to and from this mode will work flawlessly, though
Jun 27 20:39:27 <blathijs> the network configuration scripts are a bit of a messs
Jun 27 20:48:40 <blathijs> Hmm, even that seems to work without problems
Jun 27 20:55:18 <khanku> nice!
Jun 27 21:00:25 <blathijs> Hmm is trac.fonosfera.org working for you?
Jun 27 21:03:43 <blathijs> khanku: here's the patch, if you want to try it: http://www.stdout.nl/static/tmp/wifi-bridge.patch
Jun 27 21:04:51 <khanku> will do
Jun 27 21:06:43 <blathijs> Cool, let me know how it goes
Jun 27 21:07:03 <blathijs> Bedtime now :-)
Jun 27 21:09:10 <khanku> probably tomorrow, bedtime is approaching for me too
Jun 27 21:09:19 <blathijs> heh
Jun 27 21:09:27 <blathijs> Good night, in that case :-)
Jun 27 21:09:48 <khanku> 'night
