robert, well, it is not a permissions problem - you used 'sudo' when invoking the interceptor driver directly.
i vaguely remember pcap settings for promiscuity coming into play (your tcpdump might use it by default?). there is a boolean 'promiscuous' option for interceptor, but it is not mapped through to the direct invocation of interceptor.py can you get any log messages when you run the driver directly? debug is especially helpful - the sniff server spits out quite a bit of information. you might have to make some modifications to interceptor.py log messages nominally go to syslog, but systemd might hijack that. and the interceptor driver is not aware of the newer logging mechanisms in weewx. (it sets weewx.debug=1, but that probably won't get you full debug logging - i know, i need to fix this in all of my extensions...) sorry i cannot do any testing and debug myself right now! m > On Nov 21, 2024, at 09:22, Robert Turner <[email protected]> wrote: > > There isn't any network hardware between the station and where weewx runs. > Essentially weewx is running on the access point.
