Hostapd AP SSID broadcast problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi
Based on WireShark analysis, I have not been able to configure Hostapd to broadcast SSID. My problem is ‘sleeping’ remote IP security camera connected via Wifi to Raspberry Pi. Only ARP records are sent out periodically or when pinging the bridged static IP address for the camera, but no SSID broadcasting. Wifi is in its own subnet bridged (br0) to Raspberry and mobile PPP0 interface. In the same installation but nor directly connected the SSID from ZyXEL ADSL modem can be listened correctly
with Raspberry's  WireShark.

I compiled latest version (hostapd v2.3) into Raspberry, replacing v1.0, but it didn’t change anything. Testing hostapd.conf setup for “ignore_broadcast_ssid” with different values was no help either
for the problem.
Looking into source code, it seems like value “1” should do the trick to beacon ssid, but no success?
Following are  config parameters used:
interface_wlan0
bridge=br0
driver=nl80211
hw_mode=g
channel=8
ssid=XxXxXX (not shown)
beacon_int=100 (ok with hostapd > 15)
dtim_period=2
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=(0 or 1 or 2 or 3 tested)
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=xxxxxxxxxx(not shown)
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
country_code=FI
wpa_ptk_rekey=18000
radius_acct_interim_interval=36000 (not needed extra ?)

The driver is:  rt2800usb

Normally the the link Wifi-IPS camera works ok, but probably due to some disturbance the camera
may be dropped out. I want to test if broadcasting AP SSID could wake it up.
