Description

WHile booting the router I get the next network error:

# Note: eth0 is the ethernet device connected to the b44 switch.
#       The switch creates vlan tags for each seperate configured

Priority changed from major to trivial

Please elaborate. What is the actual problem, besides getting several "No such device messages" for the very same eth0_wan device?

comment:2 Changed 12 years ago by E.D.Grootjans <e.d.grootjans@…>

The problem is that interfaces are not created...
There is no eth0_wan, eth0_lan
and wlan0 can not be added to lanbridge.
See below:

Setting up networking....
eth0_wan: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Failed to bring up eth0_wan.
interface eth0_lan does not exist!
can't add wlan0 to bridge lanbridge: Operation not supported

Errors are generated on the ASUS Router

so the devices are there
drivers are loaded; because eth0 works with firstboot
b43 driver is loaded, see previous start message

eth0_lan and eth0_wan are not created....
See below:

root@debwrt:~# iwconfig
lo          no wireless extentions

wlan0       IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any

comment:7 in reply to: ↑ 6 Changed 12 years ago by stappers

Priority changed from trivial to minor

Strange, very strange.

Both eth0 and wlan0 have the same MAC address
Bridge lanbridge has no MAC addresses, it should have at least some local MAC addresses
In the switch is everthing in vlan 1

Please review wiki page BridgedNetwork
That page is a copy from the two year old page http://www.debwrt.net/usage/networking/bridged-network/
What used to work, 24 months ago, seems to have been changed ...

comment:8 Changed 12 years ago by E.D.Grootjans <e.d.grootjans@…>

Between version 1.0 and 2.0 are a lot of changes.

So there is no nas-file, there is no firewall-file etc.

I have looked in the old file system 1.0 and i see in rcS.d:
S38robocfg
S39firewall
S39ifupdown
S40networking

I see S20hostapd-mini in rc2.d, rc3.d, rc4.d en in rc5.d.

In the new debwrt2.0 filesysteem i see in rcS.d:
S39ifupdown
S40networking

GEEN S38robocfg

en in rc2.d t/m rc5.d zie ik GEEN S20hostapd

I think these files are missing ....
--> Correct or is hostapd and robocfg in another way started ???? <---
( I have inserted an echo command in robocfg and i dont see it while booting !!!

(For the K-files its more ore less the same. ...)

comment:9 Changed 12 years ago by E.D.Grootjans <e.d.grootjans@…>

I have added the following links:

root@debwrt:/etc# ln -snf /etc/init.d/robocfg /etc/rcS.d/S38robocfg

In the robocfg i have :
put 3 lines in

outcommended the

Too Enable robofg
I changed Enable from 0 to 1 in the /etc/default directory.

I also changed here dnsmasq from 0 to 1
And changed in /etc/dnsmasq.conf the netwerkrange for dhcp ethernetaddresses.

Result is still the same.

I think this error: can't add wlan0 to bridge lanbridge: Operation not supported has something to do with: bridge-ports eth0_lan wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces.lan-wlan-bridge

The processes are started in the following order:

robocfg
ifupdown
networking

runlevel 2:

hostapd

Question: do i already have an wlan0 device to bind to lanbridge add the point of starting networking ?

comment:12 Changed 12 years ago by stappers

As far as I known, comes

can't add wlan0 to bridge lanbridge: Operation not supported

from /etc/interfaces, executed during system startup

auto lanbridge
iface lanbridge inet static
    bridge-ports eth0_lan wlan0
    bridge-stp off
    bridge-maxwait 0
    address 192.168.1.1
    netmask 255.255.255.0

Because you have a serial port, you can play with the network configuration
without loosing connection.
Emulate manually the system network start, do something like

ifconfig lanbridge down
brctl delif lanbridge eth0_lan
brclt delbr lanbridge
ifconfig eth0_lan down
ifconfig wlan0 down
brctl show # should show no bridge definition
brctl addbr lanbridge
brctl addif lanbridge eth0_lan
brctl addif lanbridge wlan0
ifconfig lanbridge 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

I didn't verify those instructions, because I have not the access to the hardware.

Looking forward for the feedback.

Add first i did bring the interfaces down and started them up again.
Second I brought the interfaces down and used the scripts to also bring them down an up again.
I did not get the same error: "can't ..." but i don't understand why.

But still i cant get out of the router.
The Wan interface must be address 192.168.0.251 netmask 255.255.255.0
The lan interface must be address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

ifconfig lanbridge 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

then connect to 192.168.1.xx where xx is a configured network device
and xx is larger as 1 and smaller as 255.

comment:15 Changed 12 years ago by stappers

the same check to other way round:

connect from 192.168.1.xx to 192.168.1.1

comment:16 follow-up: ↓ 19 Changed 12 years ago by E.D.Grootjans <e.d.grootjans@…>

I'm one step further.
I can connect with ssh from the device to the outside en visaversa.

I still have the

can't add wlan0 to bridge lanbridge: Operation not supported

ad bootup.
Still a lot off devices have the same HW-address.

I'm now looking if i can make an external connection with wlan0

comment:17 follow-up: ↓ 18 Changed 12 years ago by E.D.Grootjans <e.d.grootjans@…>

I have this error while starting network:

can't add wlan0 to bridge lanbridge: Operation not supported

and

netconsole: network logging stopped, interface mon.wlan0 unregistered

The first one is during start off the networking
The secondone is when i'm about to login.

After login in
I do sometimes 1 time, sometime 2, sometimes 3 times:

brctl show ==> I only see a eth0_lan interface not a wlan0 interface
/etc/init.d/hostapd stop
/etc/init.d/networking stop
/etc/init.d/ifupdown stop

/etc/init.d/ifupdown start
/etc/init.d/networking start
/etc/init.d/hostapd start
brctl show

After the last time i have a wlan0

I don't understand why.
Why sometimes one, sometimes 2 sometimes more.....
Can it be in a way that the interfaces are not yet ready and because of that i can not add wlan to lanbridge ????

But I do understand that if I don't have a wlan0 bind to lanbridge
then i can not login by wireless, because i can not connect to the network and get no ip-address.

\o/ Hurray! It is good to have progress.

I still have the

at bootup.

Welcome to DebWrt, the place where Debian and OpenWrt meet.
Openwrt is about many different hardware devices.
Debian is about free software.

Debwrt's approach is to boot with a minimalistic configuration, /etc/network/interfaces.firstboot.

Which configuration for which internal network switch and further configuration, is the reason that this ticket is open. It is tagged as documentation. Writing down what is needed, is the way to closing this ticket.

Still a lot off devices have the same HW-address.

Please review wiki page BrigdedNetwork?.

I'm now looking if i can make an external connection with wlan0

Most likely will starting hostapd at the right moment, do the trick.
(Please document)

comment:20 Changed 12 years ago by E.D.Grootjans <e.d.grootjans@…>

I have tryed 4 things

Not startingup hostapd --> same error
Startingup hostapd and not the networking (mv S40networking K40networking)and after login starting the network. --> wlan is started correctly and added to lanbridge...
Add a countingscript between ifupdown and networking in rcS.d; and wait 3 min. -> same error
Start hostapd before networking --> wlan is started correctly and added to lanbridge.

By 2 and 4 hostapd is started BEFORE networking and this is working.
I do not understand why.

comment:21 Changed 12 years ago by e.d.grootjans@…

If have been surching on the internet and found out, and i quote:

That it is no longer posible to add an interface in the managed mode bridge. You should run hostapd first to pure the interface to Master mode.

This is from kernel version 2.6.33.

See also: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-ath5k-devel/2010/3/21/6871733
and http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/2010-January/020958.html

My conclussion is:
You have to run hostapd first (to get it in master mode)
and after that run networking.

So I made the following changes to my box:

(under root)

ln -snf /etc/init.d/robocfg /etc/rcS.d/S38robocfg
ln -snf /etc/init.d/hostapd /etc/rcS.d/S41hostapd
mv /etc/rcS.d/S40networking /etc/rcS.d/S42networking
ln -snf /etc/init.d/hostapd /etc/rc6.d/K20hostapd
ln -snf /etc/init.d/hostapd /etc/rc0.d/K20hostapd
ln -snf /etc/init.d/hostapd /etc/rc1.d/K20hostapd

I have rebooted my box a few times and this is working !!!

Information about a tool for creating symbolic links on init scripts

man update-rc.d

### END INIT INFO

I think that the

Should-Start: $network

is some how important.

comment:23 Changed 12 years ago by e.d.grootjans@…

From the documentation:

Should-Start: boot_facility_1 [boot_facility_2...]

defines the facilities that if present should start before the service provided by the script. Nevertheless, the script can still start if the listed facilities are missing. This allows for weak dependencies which do not cause the service to fail if a facility is not available. Consider using virtual facility names as described below if adequate.

So This means that network should start BEFORE hostapd is started
I think this needs modification, because off the kernelupdate...
-->> networking must be start AFTER hostapd is started

The correct sequence is:

robocfg
hostapd
networking

comment:26 Changed 12 years ago by e.d.grootjans@…

It works, if you start wlan (hostapd) before networking.
If you need help, Maybe i can help you - let me know

comment:27 Changed 12 years ago by stappers

The next three comments are a mix of code improvement and workaround

n+1: hostapd symlink change, includes a patch
n+2: cruft removal
n+3: full symlink generation

The fourth comment shows the list that e.d.grootjans@... provided earlier.

All is done on the target debwrt hardware ( no "build delay" )

comment:28 Changed 12 years ago by stappers

so it should look like

# Should-Stop:          $local_fs

As far as i can check this out now. It seems to be working.
I did not test with the latest version - because i dont have the time right now.

No worries, no hurries.
It is the quality of the feedback report that counts.

In r258 is minor change, which might be an enhancement.
