Configuring BeagleBoard BeaglePlay #340

Open troglobytor opened 10 months ago

troglobytor commented 10 months ago

I was trying to build and use on a BeaglePlay, and have not yet successfully started a wifi hotspot. The BeaglePlay comes with a /etc/systemd/network/SoftAp0.network SoftAp0_network.txt that I suspect needs revision if I were to use it as the wifi hotspot and wlan0 as the internet access. My end goal is to connect via dhcp with wlan0 to local home network 192.168.1.0/24(router 192.168.1.1) to get internet access, and as a dual use chipset, use the SoftAp0 to be hotspot. The program as written had problems starting hostapd(needed to be stopped before or restarted) and there was an error about "xml-stripblanks preprocessing requested, but XMLLINT is not set, and xmllint is not in PATH", though libxml2 is installed though no reboot done. What should a compatible SoftAp0 look ike and hostapd.conf prior to using? hostapd_conf.txt

I did not add that I want connected clients to have addresses provided by 192.168.1.1 router so as to be on the same network, too.
