Doesn't work with Raspbian stretch 3-13

[heartlandcoop-prichards]

Starting with 2018-03-13-raspbian-stretch.img Then I: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

Issues:

Issue 1) Step: Set up the client wifi (station) on wlan0 says "Create /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf"

Actually /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf already exists and contains the text: ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1

I assume this should be delete and replaced with your text?

Issue 2) Step: Set up the client wifi (station) on wlan0

I'm in the US so I assume that the country should be: country=US ?

Issue 3) Step: Bring up the station (client) interface raspberry pi responds with: "failed to bring up wlan0"

Issue 4) Step: Install the packages you need for DNS, Access Point and Firewall rules. A blue-screen appears asking to "Save current IPv4 rules?" I assume the answer is yes

Issue 5) Step: /etc/dnsmasq.conf This file already exists and has a bunch of non-commented out values. Such as: dhcp-mac=set:client_is_a_pi,B8:27:EB:::* dhcp-reply-delay=tag:client_is_a_pi,2 I assume your text should be added to the bottom rather than replacing the existing text.

Issue 6) Step: Restart the client interface ifup wlan0 yields: failed to bring up wlan0

Issue 7) After reboot, No wireless interfaces found No AP created

Thanks for creating this help, unfortunately I think the latest stretch has changed something critical.

Sorry I've been so silent on responding to issues. This little project of mine is long over and I do not even have my rPi running any more.

You didn't say ... did you execute these instructions to create an access point prior to the apt-get update/upgrade? And was the access point working prior to the update/upgrade?

If so, I wouldn't think you'd have to re-execute these instructions. The access point functionality should have survived the update/upgrade.

Anyway, I really can't help too much at this moment.

I changed the instructions a little bit. Wanna try it now?

Hi I have hit a similar problem. The details and logs can be found here: https://lb.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=211202

It seems to be related to the interfaces.d/ap file or/and the 90-wireless.rules command. I tried running the --debug option for iw but that didn't tell me anything new.

This is running on a virgin Stretch installation setup specifically to test this functionality. It is running on a 3B.

Any help would be much appreciated.
