Hi all,
I have started exploring wifi applications of legato. The WiFi client and client test seems to be working fine; but access point is acting up.
In both legato command line and test application I can create a discoverable WiFi access point; but when I try to connect with the access point with a device it is remaining at “connecting…” and is not proceeding further. I have set up the etc/dnsmasq.d/wifiAP.conf as specified by the wifiApTest.c.
Also while using command line to set up the wifi I execute the commands as specified in wifi - Legato Docs .
I am using a MangOH Green board with wp8548.

Hi @codegit001 ,
So you’re trying to connect to the (mangOH) AP from a device (Another mangOH? PC? Smartphone?) and the device shows “Connecting …” ?
I wonder if the DHCP server is working properly. What’s the content of {{/etc/dnsmasq.d/wifiAP.conf}}?
I am trying to connect using my mobile phone.
I used logread -f | grep wifi and it says peer didnot ack 100 packets and is disconnecting. I have the logs, but it seems I cannot attach files to my comments yet.
From the logs dnsmasq is up and running with the values from wifiAp.conf; which contains:

Have you tried with another device?wlan0 ip is something like 129.168.10.1 right?
wlan0 ip: 192.168.10.1
Made a laptop running Windows 7 as the client with::
The lap says “Connection was unsuccessful The computer currently has limited connectivity to ”
I had run the ‘cm data connect’ with a successfull connection to my service provider and successful ping.
The ‘logread -f’ returns the following:
Nov 23 12:05:20 swi-mdm9x15 user.info Legato: INFO | wifiService[2085]/daemon T=main | pa_wifi_ap_ti.c pa_wifiAp_Start() 597 | Start Access Point Cmd: /bin/hostapd /tmp/hostapd.conf#0 ): mgmt TX status (cookie cea6a540): acked : len:56#0 ): mgmt TX status (cookie cc60fb40): acked : len:56
I have made the change from eth0 to rmnet0 in the code.
Also BLR-DTDL3P1MXJ2 is the workstation from which the ssh is connecting to the board. Why is that popping up with reference to dnsmasq-dhcp[2369]: DHCPACK(usb0) and dnsmasq-dhcp[2369]: DHCPINFORM(usb0)

I’m really surprised to see some 192.168.0.0/24 in there.192.168.10.0/24.wifiApTest.c.
Thanks
Now the laptop promptly display “Connected”; but even though I am able to ping data quite easily using my board, the connected device seems unable to do so.
Also this is using static IP. Is there any way I can still use actual DHCP ?
The issue is now the fact that the board is not transferring data to its client. How can I use something like TFTP with the existing connection ? I enabled tftp client in my Windows 7 client, but the connections are timing out.
tftp -l file.txt -p 192.168.10.1

Is there a tftp server on your target? There is none by default.
Easiest way would be to use SSH (& SCP), but you would also need to open access to the target ssh port from wlan0.
This would be something like:
# Allow SSH, PING and DHCP over WiFi interface
LAN_IF=wlan0
iptables -A INPUT -i @LAN_IF@ -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i @LAN_IF@ -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i @LAN_IF@ -p udp --dport 67:68 --sport 67:68 -j ACCEPT
(adapted from meta-swi/meta-swi-mdm9xxx/recipes-core/init-ifupdown/files/rules.v4)
Any solutions on why the data cannot reach the client ? I am able to ping sites using the board; but the connected clients declare the Access Point as “No Internet Connection”.
@CoRfr after some snooping around, dropping the IP Tables just before resetting the modprob masquerade seems to do the trick; I was busy with another project, so I couldn’t pay attention to this. Cheers.
