This worked on 4.9.x

[meveric]

it say's it can't find sys/socket.h which should be part of libc6-dev package.

Reference this post.... https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=146&p=193092

I had an issue with kernel 4.9 and this thread fixed it. Now I have another issue with this and this is 4.14. (This is just for reference)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[odroid]

Our prebuilt kernel package has the wifi module 3 driver and it should work out of the box once you install it.
Why do you want to build it again?
Has this AP mode guide any problem with Kernel 4.14?

I just tried compiling this version: https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes on my Debian Jessie image.

Worked perfectly fine under Kernel 4.14 and I haven't had any issues.. I could also easily install the dkms package I build on the C2 (arm64).
So I don't see any issue here it's straight forward and I created a dkms package for it and uploaded it to my repository: viewtopic.php?p=208097#p208097

[mtdew365]

I don't understand why this quit working with 4.14.... Module 3 uses driver=rtl871xdrv according to the docs. I take this off the blacklist and lsmod gives me the following...

Code: Select all

rtl_usb                20480  1 rtl8192cu
rtl8192c_common        49152  1 rtl8192cu
rtlwifi                73728  3 rtl_usb,rtl8192c_common,rtl8192cu


This there something I should delete so it rebuilds everything?

[mtdew365]

Here are the configuration files as they worked in 4.9.x

/etc/hostapd/hostapd_24.conf

Code: Select all

# interface
interface=wlan20
bridge=br0

# driver
driver=rtl871xdrv
#driver=rtl8192cu

# CTRL-Interface
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=0

# SSID
ssid=OdroidAP24

--snip--

/etc/default/hostapd

Code: Select all

DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf /etc/hostapd/hostapd_24.conf"
##DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-native-rtl8192.conf

Code: Select all

## This file ships with the rtl8192-fixes DKMS module.
## Keep the native (and currently broken) kernel driver from loading so ours
## is used instead:
install rtl8192cu /bin/false
install rtl8192c_common /bin/false
install rtlwifi /bin/false
## There is also a new mainline driver starting with kernel v4.4
install rtl8xxxu /bin/false

If I comment out one line in the /etc/default/hostapd and uncomment out the other (only use the hostapd.conf instead of the hostapd.conf and hostapd_24.conf) the 5.8 GHz (module 5) comes up correctly.

I see that it can't find sys/socket.h but I have libc6-dev package installed. I have also tried reinstalling it. This worked until I upgraded to 4.14 I believe around the 23rd... Does anybody know what I am possibly doing wrong? Please? Thanks.

https://wiki.odroid.com/accessory/conne ... fi/wlan_ap

I was just following what I had to do to get module 3 to work with hostapd at 2.4GHz. Reference https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=146&t=27287

This worked for kernel 4.9.x but errors out on 4.14.

Module 3 in configuration file.
# driver
driver=rtl871xdrv

[moon.linux]

@mtdew365
It look like some some cleanup and restructuring of net structure clean happened between 4.9.x to 4.14.x.
on comparing this module with staging driver it seem to me lot's of cleanup happened.
and some strangle compilation error occur when we compile the module.

This driver need to be overhault if we want to get this thing supported.

O_o

I really don't see why you all have so much trouble compiling this.
It worked perfectly fine and out of the box on my Debian images:

My guess you're probably missing certain header files that should come from the 4.14 headers packages.

[moon.linux]

@meveric It could be because you have compiled the kernel and then you have the linux-header probably build correctly.
I feel their could be issue with the linux-headers-4.14.0-83 I am trying on linux-image provided by odroid.

Edited: I also go this compile on pre-compiled kernel

Sorry... I forgot to list the kernel used.

I have two different XU4's with 4.14.0-83 and they are both giving me the same error.

I have another XU4 with 4.9.x kernel and it compiled. So it appears to be something with 4.14.x

If you want to remove old obsolete kernel image you probably need to execute following command.

Code: Select all

dpkg --list | grep linux-image | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -V | sed -n '/'`uname -r`'/q;p' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge

for linux-headers

Thank you for the commands. It nicely removed the obsolete packages and saved a lot of storage space.
I've added the commands to the release notice : viewtopic.php?f=29&t=28895

@mtdew365
Those messages are normal if you choose "Yes" when you installed linux-image-xu3 package.
Try to reboot a couple of times.

Yes. What happens if you run sudo apt install linux-headers-xu3?

[mtdew365]

I rebooted a couple of time and installed linux-headers-xu3. Still did not compile.

[odroid]

DKMS tree already contains: 8192cu-1.10
Our prebuild kernel package already included the driver probably.

[moon.linux]

@mtdew365 @odroid.

Their seams to be an issue with include of some unwanted userspace header when building the module.
possible solution is to integrate this module in linux kernel tree.

[mtdew365]

@odroid

Realtek RTL8192CU does not support the standard nl80211 driver used by hostapd according to the wiki http://odroid.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:xu4_wlan_ap or the new wiki [url]https://wiki.odroid.com/accessory/connectivity/wifi/wlan_ap?s[]=wireless&s[]=access&s[]=point[/url]

[moon.linux]

It's long standing issue with Realtek wireless cards.
On 4.9.x we has integrated the module into the kernel https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/com ... 7926eb5cb5
but with the same commit on 4.14.x it's not working.

When we start hostapd realtek it dies out.

[odroid]

@moon.linux,
We can't use Canonical's header package since its Kernel version is still 4.4.
We have to use our own header package.

Can you use our full linux kernel source for building the driver?

[odroid]

@mtdew365 @odroid.

Their seams to be an issue with include of some unwanted userspace header when building the module.
possible solution is to integrate this module in linux kernel tree.

Can you try to integrate the module source and build it for your testing?
If the test result is fine, let's integrate it.

[moon.linux]

@odroid I have give this a try but it's failed to start with hostapd with rtl driver.

[mtdew365]

@moon.linux @odroid.

Is there an update? Do you need me to do something? I just tried to compile with ...

Linux odroid.bergmann.c 4.14.5-92 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Dec 11 15:48:15 UTC 2017 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

but it failed.

[odroid]

Other WiFi modules #0, #4 and #5 are working in AP mode on Kernel 4.14.5.
Only WiFi module #3 seems to have a problem with Kernel 4.14

We will try to run 4.14 kernel on an x86 Linux PC for testing the RTL8188CUS AP mode.
It will narrow down root causes.

[mtdew365]

I see linux-headers-4.x.xx-xx-generic for 4.4, 4.8, 4.10, 4.11, and 4.13, but nothing for 4.14. It says that the latest generic headers is 4.4.0-104-generic.

[odroid]

I think Canonical doesn't support Kernel 4.14 yet. So there is no generic-header.
So we have to use our full kernel source code.

BTW, x86 PC(kernel 4.14) has the same AP mode issue with module 3 RTL8188CUS driver.
I have no idea how to solve the issue.

[mtdew365]

I have kept that XU-4 (AP) on 4.9.x series until a solution is found

I have two on 4.9.x and one on 4.14.x

[moon.linux]

@mtdew365
Their is no need to compile any driver or hostapd source code we can create Access Point using wpa_supplicant utility.
This is general steps followed in android device to create hostspot.

Prerequisite to build wpa_supplicant

Code: Select all

# sudo apt-get install libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev libssl-dev iptables git-core pkg-config libnl-genl-3-dev

1 Download the latest wap_supplicant source code.

Code: Select all

#  wget https://w1.fi/releases/wpa_supplicant-2.6.tar.gz
# tar xvfz wpa_supplicant-2.6.tar.gz
# cd wpa_supplicant-2.6/wpa_supplicant/
# cp defconfig .config


Enable AP, P2P and WPS needed to configure wpa_supplicant in AP mode.

Code: Select all

# echo CONFIG_P2P=y >> .config
# echo CONFIG_AP=y >> .config
# echo CONFIG_WPS=y >> .config
# echo CFLAGS +=-I/usr/include/libnl3/ >> .config
# echo CONFIG_LIBNL32=y >> .config


Build the wpa_supplicant 2.6

Code: Select all

make

Note if you get compilation error it might be some library is missing

create wpa_supplicant config file needed in AP mode.
cat /root/wpa.conf

Code: Select all

network={
    ssid="odroid-AP-RTL8188CUS"
    mode=2
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    psk="wpaRTL8188CUSap"
    frequency=2437
}


Note: mode setting configure AP mode.

Since their is Netowkor Manager service is bind or listening to connect to AP it need to be stopped.

Code: Select all

sudo service network-manager stop

Start wap_supplicant to start AP mode.

Code: Select all

wpa_supplicant# ./wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c /root/wap.conf
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant

Note : Rest of the configuration for dnsmasq and iptable are in general and common to all device which support AP feature.

@odroid,

Just to be sure.... all but modules 3 work with building the driver for 4.14.x kernel....with module 3 instead of building the driver you use wpa_supplicant? Right? I just want to make sure. And if this is correct.....is module 3 eventually going to work (being able to be built) like the rest are.

Thanks.

[odroid]

Right. WiFi module 3 AP mode works with pre-installed driver via wpa_supplicant.

I hope Realtek or other people eventually fix their driver issue in upstream kernel in near future.
