Soo strange, why is the post above void of formatting?
I wanted to use code formatting and underlines too...
Here it works but not above, why?

By the way, I managed to get it going in the end. See the thread I linked to above.

It turns out that I just needed to [u]start[/u] the dhcp server service... [code] sudo systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server [/code] After this I executed the hostapd test: [code] pi@rpi2-jessie ~/hostapd $ sudo /usr/sbin/hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf dr...

I guess I have to revisit the AdaFruit guide for the DHCP setup.... It might be that the service is not started or something like that. I am reluctant to reboot my Pi until everything seems to work as I want (otherwise it might not be possible to reach via SSH on eth0).... The tutorial MrEngerman su...

Hi,
I created a new thread in the Raspbian subforum to ask about the driver.
In this I got some replies that led to a solution regarding the hostapd and driver issues.
You might want to have a look there even though I am not completely done yet (DHCP is not working).

PS: Meanwhile I have downloaded an updated hostapd file from here: https://github.com/lostincynicism/hostapd-rtl8188 Any luck with that? I know some chipsets aren't supported by the version of hostapd that's in the repo. This could be one of them. YES, it sems like it works better and it recognizes...

Take a look here http://www.daveconroy.com/turn-your-raspberry-pi-into-a-wifi-hotspot-with-edimax-nano-usb-ew-7811un-rtl8188cus-chipset/ Thanks, I looked at it but it seems a bit outdated (from 2013) since Raspbian has moved to Jessie now... Anyway I saw that the tutorial uses the driver rtl871xdrv...

Bosse_B

Those are not the drivers you're looking for. driver=nl80211 I changed to that driver in the cobf file but got this response instead: pi@rpi2-jessie ~/hostapd $ sudo /usr/sbin/hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf nl80211: Driver does not support authentica...

I need to know which driver is used by Jessie for the EdiMax EW-7811Un adapter. The hostapd.conf file contains a driver item where the driver name has to be entered and I have tried in vain any driver name I could find in various wifi threads without success. My adapter is reported as follows in Ras...

Got through most of the AdaFruit AP instructions but skipped the replacement of hostapd for the adafruit version because I am running Jessie and it should have an up-to-date hostapd. Problem is that when I try to start the AP using the command line I get an error: pi@rpi2-jessie ~ $ sudo /usr/sbin/h...

I found a website describing just about all I wanted to do here:
Adafruit WiFi AP description
I have started following it and will report back when I am finished.

OK, so how do I put the TCP service software programmed with Free-Pascal onto that cheap AP?
It is compiled for the ARM7 on a Pi2.

I would like to make an RPi2 run as a WiFi Access point for a local network without Internet access. The hardware would be a Raspberry Pi2B (running Raspbian Jessie) and an EdiMax EW-7811Un USB WiFi plug. The Pi2B will be connected by Ethernet to a wired network with Internet access via a router. So...

Bosse_B

Well, I have already used that guide and it would not connect! It always errors out when using the same connection settings that I use on my Win7 box to connect to the company VPN. I need the Pi to connect so I can use the version control system on the company LAN when I write Pi code. So I figured ...

I see several on the market and they often cite an "intelligent sensing" of the device type connected to adjust the charging level. What does that mean in the context of something that doesn't have a battery? Exactly! That is why I am asking. If it is indeed trying to manage the charging then it wi...

Fine, then I will start looking for a Swedish place to buy it from.

What Anker type do you use, and how many RPi do you connect?

Bosse_B

http://www.ianker.com/Wall-Chargers/category-c78-s1 This company seems to have a range of products that might fit the bill. However they tote the Power-IQ functionality to "adapt" the current limit to the device type connected. I do not believe that the RPi has any reporting facility built into the...

I'd rather have a supply that can sit on my desktop with multiple USB sockets for the power lines to the RPi units I have.
Don't want to wire up something non-standard....

Bosse_B

I have several RPi unit sitting on my desktop and each has a charger plug as power supply occupying one power wall outlet each. Now I am getting annoyed about this situation and want to get a single multi-channel power supply/charger instead. Is there any recommendation as to which product I should ...

Seemingly I have stumbled across the root cause of this problem of clipboard bidirectionality... In the Lazarus programming environment for Free Pascal there is a code editor and whatever one selects and copies in this does not make it across to the Windows clipboard! But strangely it is in the Rasp...

I talked too soon! I disconnected the VNC overnight and then connected again and now the copy-paste only works in one direction, from PC to RPi2! After looking further for a solution I ran across this webpage . In this the xstartup is edited slightly differently so I tried that as follows: #!/bin/sh...

Bosse_B

I can confirm that it is working also on tightvncserver running on Raspbian Jessie! :D Makes life so much easier going back and forth between the pi and the PC! And I did not have to reboot either, just did this: - installed autocutsel - Added line "autocutsel -fork" to /home/pi/.vnc/xstartup - Stop...
