BL-LW05AR5

I may need to compile drivers for Arch Linux. I do have a driver cd with Linux source code. Any advice? Thanks

Source code:

The LB-Link BL-LW05AR5 (as seen on [www.adafruit.com]) is not compatible with the Arch Linux distribution. However, I do have the drivers. But also have no Arch Linux compiling experience.

Change Pi(rate)box file share directory?

How can I use my OS sd card to host files for Pi(rate)box rather than a USB stick?

Because I haven't even figured out how to mount a usb flash drive and copy files over to a specific folder anyways.

Hi Jacob,
the idea of the wifi timer is quite well.

We already have the function called "PROBE_INTERFACE" to wait until the USB Stuff is available.

Hi,
ok, while working on another thread, I had an idea today.
The output you posted doesn't contain the line "Probing interface wlan0". This can have to reasons:

1. PROBE_INTERFACE is not set correctly to "yes" (should be done by 
sed -i 's|PROBE_INTERFACE="no"|PROBE_INTERFACE="yes"|g' /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf
without problem)

2. The issues below

That HAVE-TO appear if you enabled the function correctly.

So, I introduce you some changes, and then retest it.

1. Adjust piratebox_alt
edit with "vi" or "nano" 
  /opt/piratebox/init.d/piratebox_alt
find the following line: 
    fi

    if [ "$PROBE_INTERFACE" = yes ] ; then
      echo "  Probe wlan"
That should be around line 87 -

Please change it to 
   if [ "$PROBE_INTERFACE" = "yes" ] ; then

That should create the message "Probe wlan" BEFORE "Starting hostap." when you run

2. But I think in the wifi-setup script is the next bug.
So edit 
/opt/piratebox/bin/piratebox_setup_wlan.sh
.

Look around at line 79 , there you should find 
  ifconfig $INTERFACE down
elif [ $ = "probe" ] ; then 
   # simply check if the interface is available
   probe
fi

please change it to: 
elif [ "$2" = "probe" ] ; then

Test restarting the piratebox 

systemctl piratebox restart
systemctl piratebox status
journalctl -xn

See if the messages about probing the interface appear.

Hope that helps.

regards Matthias

Hi Peter,
thank you.
Then, the systmctl status command doesn't print enough lines on default....

can you please check 
systemctl status --all piratebox
?

Refering to [bugzilla.redhat.com] it should print more lines.

I don't quite get what you want to achieve - You want to connect a USB flash drive but not use it for the shared files?
It isn't used (at least if you don't plug it in at install time) afaik...

Heyho,

as somewhat according to this post, it should work with our archlinux, as the post is some years old...

you will have to set the driver in 
/opt/piratebox/conf(ig?)/hostapd.conf

like 
driver=rtl8192cu

Otherwise, specify what exactly is not working ;-)

Good Luck!

If there are no special circumstances, your OS SD card should be used to host the files. Check 
/opt/piratebox/share/Shared

And yes, you will have to expand your rootfs, there is a nice post about that...should be among these (sorry, didn't find it at first glance, but every tutorial I looked at does basically the same)

You have to, basically, only change the partition table (you do that ON the Pi, WHILE the Pi is running ;-) )

Good Luck!

Having a hard time with this still. Just wondering if you did anything else after mounting the /mnt/usbdrive. Once I add the symlink "ln -s /opt/piratebox/share/Shared /mnt/usbdrive " . My piratebox service doesnt start up. All the text files are in place, i'm guessing it's something to do with the atheros usb wireless.

Hi all,
I have the opposite problem. I'd like to set the USB pendrive as default Shared folder. I've mounted the USB and I suppose I have to create a "Shared" folder on it, but then...how can I change the settings?
Thanks

Ah, I see now. Just by the way, expanding your root fs won't hurt :P

Anyways, what you want to do is
0) Maybe stop the piratebox service for this (might be a good idea)
1) Create some folder on the USB
2) Copy everything from 
/opt/piratebox/share/Shared
to your newly created folder.
3) Delete/rename/move the original folder located at 
/opt/piratebox/share/Shared
4) Assuming your new folder is called 
/mnt/usb/Shared
You'll have to create a link. Move to the piratebox folder: 
cd /opt/piratebox/share/
and call something like 
ln -d /mnt/usb/Shared
or 
ln -s /mnt/usb/Shared

I don't have my RPi around right now, so you'll have to fiddle with the ln command, but that should basically do the trick ;-)

Good Luck!
