Re: Pi(rate) box on Pi2B
Okay, after many tutorials (one was in french but quite good.) i am yet to make the image or the manual install work with the RPI2. my question is this: has anyone truly made it work? Admins? Any luck?

Hey Benji, The RPI2 image that was uploaded works when you image it to a micro sdcard. As long as you have a compatible wifi adapter you should have no problems. Have you tried to reboot the piratebox...

The Main problem is that i don't see the access point. i have done everything i can think of but i really dont understand this to well. i flashed the image file again and ran it with the wifi adapter...

Ok, if you use the image then all you have to do is start the raspberry pi and it will work. You will see the access point and should be able to connect to it. Can you tell me what image you used?

Hm, just plug it and go? yeah, i used the one you posted on this forum. downloaded it with a bit torrent. is that the right one?

I am pretty sure I've tried that already, i'm trying it again now, doesn't seem to be working but i'm giving it time to warm up. Just power and wifi dongle and chip.

Yep, not seeing anything, its just sitting there, is it all set up to run right after being flashed?
View ArticleRe: Pi(rate) box on Pi2B
Ok then once you have imaged this to the microsdcard, the pi should boot up. If it does not then i would suggest looking at your how you have imaged the software, ensure that the image has been placed...

Yes if it has been flashed correctly, it is set to run upon startup. If you cannot ssh into the box then it sounds like there is a problem with how you have flashed the image. Are you using windows or...

Everything is imaged and all the proper things are installed. the pi boots up and it runs through its stuff and it gets to the login. however in the scrolling texts i see things that say dhcpcd failed...

I am using windows with win32diskimager. i understand how to do this. it has been flashed and it runs. I can only ssh if it is plugged into ethernet.

okay, now i am certain, it is in fact an issue of the wireless connection. i attempted to connect a separate raspbian install and i cant get stuff to connect.

correction: i made the wifi adapter work on a clean raspbian install.

I think the problem is that your wifi adapter card isn't going into AP mode, access point mode. When the card goes into AP mode it acts as a wifi hotspot. What seems to be happenig is that your card...

As ive not used this wifi card i dont really know where to get them. I would do a search for your card name plus raspberry pi and ap mode. You will find details on the raspberry pi forums, especially...

I have confirmed that it does indeed support AP mode but i wouldn't know how to turn it on within the command line of raspbian. seeing as you put this image together i was hoping you would have known...
View ArticleRe: Pi(rate) box on Pi2B
I put the image together with standard and common wifi drivers, i think there is a piratebox forum thread about certain wifi cards and how to activate them. Its difficult for me to be able to support...
