Yep, working on it!
I'm staring at multiple shells with various tcpdump probes, trying to figure
out what is & isn't happening.
I *DO* have a working network connection -- just not to ALL networks. Namely I
don't get to the net.
Using hostpad, that is. With a standalone WiFi router attached to the LAN,
everything works.
I do know the following so far:
The phone, when connected
In this config:
net
|
|
router
|
|-- ethernet switch
|
|-- Standalone Wifi Router
| |
| phone
|
|-- { hardwired LAN mmachines }
The phone is given an IP on the 10.0.0.0/24 segment,
10.0.0.150
and has
ip route
ip route 10.0.0.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src
10.0.0.150
It has full/unfettered access to the net.
OTOH, in this config:
net
|
|
router
|
|-- USB WiFi dongle + Hostapd AP
| |
| phone
|
|-- ethernet switch
|
|-- { hardwired LAN mmachines }
The phone is given an IP on the 10.0.1.0/24 segment,
10.0.1.150
and has
ip route
ip route 10.0.1.0/24 dev wlan proto kernel scope link src
10.0.1.150
It can access everything on my LAN, but NOTHING on the 'net.
This smells like a routing problem to me.
Unless I missed it in the docs or in the thread abouve there's been no specific
routing settings I should use.
I'm guessing something clearly different than what I have.
I just have to figure out & understand what needs to get set and where.
