If you are able to debug this - I would be interested to know if re-starting the application resolves this and shows the AP. I saw this once on my PI3 and might be some kind of glitch. If I have a few more data points, it will be easier to debug.

same problem here.... if I reboot the wifi not appears but if I run the code the ap wifi works.. :(

oh very interesting - perhaps this is an issue with the startup script.

How are you guys enabling the autostart?

sabhiram avatar Apr 27 '18 18:04 sabhiram

I tried only in rc.local and via services... the same problem. The ESSID in iwconfig coming with off/any

chingling123 avatar Apr 27 '18 20:04 chingling123

But when this is run from the command line - you confirm that it behaves as expected? Let me try reproducing that first thing tomorrow. Thanks for the reply!

sabhiram avatar Apr 29 '18 05:04 sabhiram

Yes, if I run in command line it's ok. Another thing that I found is in you regex lines you are trying to find inet-addr and HWaddr and in my ifconfig it's return inet and ether I have changed the regex to work and when you check the ip before turns in ap mode...

chingling123 avatar Apr 29 '18 15:04 chingling123

This might be part of another issue. I will need to think about how to handle different ways in which the inet addr is being reported. Perhaps there is a slicker way to access the required data.

I had the same issue and I solved it with these 2 lines in the beginning:

  • sudo systemctl unmask hostapd
  • sudo systemctl enable hostapd
