You need to read man pages, you know.

If along your way you find a recipe for STA+bridged AP that works well on the stock PI3 card, then I'll be interested in a few hints

I surely hope they don't!

It seems that the time update is not problem per se , but automatization / interaction with internet services is. As far as ntpdate is concerned, what happens with the "socket in use" message is that ntpd (I guess) is listening on 123/udp. The socket is in use. Stop ntpd, run ntpdate, start ntpd. Y...

epoch1970

please not I am Linux novice. Do you really need the ntpdate and ntpd programs ? If your need really is "I want network time" then the answer is: 1) remove ntpdate and ntpd. You will be using the stock systemd-timesyncd service that can provide the same. 2) type the command "timedatectl status" and...

Nope, I rarely use rpi-update but I think the last apt-get update did pull rpi-update.

Ntpdate is "deprecated", it was working but you had to invoke it as ntpdate-debian; In case your Pi has been sitting offline for a long time, the time jump it would cause could disrupt the machine to some degree. I'm not sure it still works so well on jessie, I think it's better to use ntpd only, an...

Incredibly, I can't find a post that presents this simple setup. So I gave it a go. Objective: Have wireless devices connect through your Pi 3 to your local LAN. Not a hotspot, no firewall, a simple transparent bridge that allows wireless clients to use LAN resources (DHCP server, router, DNS server...

My machine is a Pi 3 and the wifi card is the embedded one. I run (hopefully) the latest stable kernel. I really don't know if my interpretation of the iw list report is correct. You'd better double-check on that, but this bit of the always helpful (IMHO) Archlinux documentation does not go against ...

Nobody uses NFS these days it seems :) I just had to install nfs-kernel-server on a Pi 3 and got into the issue where mounts from remote hosts fail until you've restarted nfs-common (and perhaps nfs-kernel-server ?) meaning there is a freaking boot order problem in systemd. Turns out that 2 years ag...

You'll find different ways of running the daemon.

I don't think rtcwake is the big guy, drivers have to implement some calls sent by the kernel.

Some PC systems can't currently exit sleep states such as mem using only the kernel code accessed by this driver.

I admit I am totally out of my league.

epoch1970

AFAIK to suspend/hibernate devices have to be able to respond to freeze/thaw commands from the kernel, and the CPU (and RAM) have to accept switching to a specific state too. Linux took a loooong time until it handled low power states gracefully, so if hardware support is there, adding software supp...

Should I use the bridging, and remove dnsmasq? Well it depends on what you want to achieve. Do you want an AP on your LAN for the wireless devices you own (then bridge is best) or do you want some sandboxed internet access over wifi (then your current route is the right one) ? I trust you've compar...

epoch1970

What a good skin can do to a blog post. I would suspect you have a startup order issue, where dnsmasq starts before wlan0 is properly up. Removing bind-interfaces from the dsnmasq config should help. If this solves it, you should be fine without bind-interfaces. Otherwise the idea would be to instru...

I agree there is lack of a nice web interface for wifi AP management (for headless Pis). All I've seen out there is centered on hotspot functionality. I've found one project (for the Pi IIRC) but it was lacking in terms of key management etc. I ended up rolling my own hostapd config, cronjobs, scrip...

epoch1970

There might be some driver issues there. I don't grok much about wireless, but "iw list" says on a Pi 3: software interface modes (can always be added): valid interface combinations: * #{ managed } <= 1, #{ P2P-device } <= 1, #{ P2P-client, P2P-GO } <= 1, total <= 3, #channels <= 2 * #{ managed } <=...

epoch1970

I think you should post your hostapd.conf it would be easier to understand what's going on. Also I am not so sure why the blog post author didn't use bridging. If the objective is to setup a wireless access point in the LAN, and have the wifi clients treated as 1st-class citizens, then go for bridgi...

epoch1970

In software you could write an udev rule that matches 3 or the 4 ports and do something useless with what is being plugged in. This way you could block the Pi from activating the resources.
I do not know the way (if any) of controlling power delivery to the ports.
What about a piece of tape?

epoch1970

Can't you use raspi-config and set console or graphical environment auto-login?

epoch1970

And I confirm it runs fine (from an OS X machine), thanks again. With your systemd units, all starts automagically at boot, this is great. To be clear for others who might come around here, this serial-over-bluetooth link does not give access to the boot messages (I suppose it starts too late anyway...

epoch1970

Thanks!
That was one of the threads I started with. Then in got lost in bootcmd.txt and core frequency stuff

epoch1970

Currently my Pi3 runs sshd but I'd like to add serial console access via Bluetooth. I have read some posts about this but I find the information confusing. I am only interested in Pi 3. I don't know the difference between a mini-UART and a PLxxx (and I think I don't care), etc. Could someone give me...

epoch1970

User mfa298 is correct I'm afraid.
I would be surprised if bridging the wireless interface in client mode actually works.

epoch1970

I think using priority should work, e.g. eth0 has high priority 0 and wlan0 has low priority 100. You get 2 default routes but only one is used at any time. On prior systems I did use that and it worked reliably with "metric XX" stanzas added to each interface in /etc/network/interfaces. You need th...
