Station Mode Issue with Voxl Suite 1.6.3

Alex Kushleyev

@fhaltmayer , which wifi usb adapter are you using?

fhaltmayer

@Alex-Kushleyev The Alfa Network AWU2036

Alex Kushleyev

SDK 1.6.3 added support for usb-eth0 (ethernet over usb). That interface should be using subnet 192.168.7.x. If your wifi subnet is the same, that could cause issues. Can you please check to make sure your wifi subnet is different?

I have just tested this on voxl2 using SDK 1.6.3 and it seems to be working. The prints were updated, but what you see is normal (i saw the same messages). Did you check dmesg for any errors from wifi dongle? I used the following wifi adapter, which is unfortunately EOL (with our M0141 expansion board) :

@Alex-Kushleyev Hi!

I'm facing the same issue using station mode on sdk v1.6.3.
I've tried using the ALFA AWU2036 as well as the TP-LINK AC600.
Changing back to sdk 1.6.0, it works as expected.

Alex Kushleyev

@SKA , I don't have a file "station_band", also 2ghz seems incorrect (maybe it should be 2.4ghz? not sure). Try to rename / remove that file?

what does iwconfig wlan0 output? what about dmesg? anything useful?

Alex

SKA

@Alex-Kushleyev I didn't add the station_band file, and this is a freshly flashed voxl. Removing/changing it to 2.4ghz didn't help unfortunately.

@SKA , can you please try to power down the wifi device and power it back up (using the commands below) and check the output of dmesg.

#turn off USB VBUS
voxl-gpio write 157 0

#turn on USB VBUS
voxl-gpio write 157 1

@SKA , please check the output of syslog, it may contain a hint as to why wlan0 has a static ip, maybe dhcpcd is not working properly.

SKA

@Alex-Kushleyev When I run tail -n 100 /var/log/syslog, I don't see any messages coming from m0104 dhcpcd or m0104 wpa_supplicant

edit: I turned the USB VBUS off and on, and saw this pop up on syslog:

Apr  3 16:07:44 m0104 dhcpcd[2276]: wlan0: probing for an IPv4LL address

Alex Kushleyev

@SKA , can you also please check journalctl -u dhcpcd to see if there is anything interesting there?

@SKA ,

I have the same same error, but wifi is working (/etc/network/interfaces: No such file or directory).

I also see that your dhcp client is able to get an ip address 10.10.10.116 for wlan0, which is strange that you don't see that ip address in ifconfig..

Alex Kushleyev

can you please check output of ifconfig ? i wonder if wlan0 is not the primary interface for some reason

@SKA , thank you for providing all the information. We are doing more testing and will get back to you. So far cannot reproduce.

@Alex-Kushleyev I reflashed 1.6.3 on the VOXL 2 twice and it seemed to fix it the second time. Weird that it fixed it and I am also unable to reproduce the issue again. At least it works now lol.
