    2)How to enable wifi client?

    • wmt_loader (ignore errors)

    • stp_uart_launcher -p /etc/firmware &

    • ip link set wlan0 up

    • iw dev wlan0 scan | grep SSID

    • vim /etc/wpasupplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

    • network={ ssid=“ssid” psk=“password” priority=1}

    • wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

    • dhclient wlan0

3)How to enable AP mode?

  • stp_uart_launcher -p /etc/firmware &

  • echo A >/dev/wmtWifi

  • create your hostapd.conf: "vim /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf "

    hostapd.conf (236 字节)

  • According to your network interface(can search internet) to config ap0:

    my network interface which can search internet is wan, and ip is 192.168.30.102, so I config ap0 as follows:

    “ifconfig ap0 192.168.30.188 netmask 255.255.255.0”

  • Run hostapd : “hostapd -d /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf”

  • Config dhcp file : “vim /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf”

    subnet 192.168.30.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

    range 192.168.30.2 192.168.30.250;

    option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8;

    option routers 192.168.30.1;
    }

  • Config dhcp of ap0, then the devices which connect ap0 could get IP: "dhcpd ap0 -pf /var/run/dhcpd.pid "

  • And a bridge

    brctl addbr br0

    brctl addif br0 ap0

    brctl addif br wan

  • Config br0 : “ifconfig br0 192.168.30.180 netmask 255.255.255.0”

  • Add br0 gw as : “route add -net default netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.30.1 dev br0”
