New OS Release!

  • B

    I stumbled across a possible wifi fix for some people. Our wireless network is on 192.168.3.X, and I happened to notice that the ethernet bridge stub is pre-configured as 192.168.3.1. I changed the ethernet bridge stub IP address to 192.168.5.1 (a network we don't use), and my wifi started working.

    If you're having wifi issues on a 192.168.3.X network, try editing /etc/config/network, look for the 'wlan' interface, and change "option ipaddr '192.168.3.1'" to "option ipaddr '192.168.5.1'" (or some other network not in used).

    With this new OS release is there a way to disable to default AP? I can't use this in anything with a large security hole like that!

    @Rickard I'm afraid not. I was trying to edit the /etc/config/wireless file and restart the wireless adapter after that.
    It seems the situation is not changed.

    Omega2+ v0.2.0 b178

    config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'ralink'
        option variant 'mt7628'
        option country 'US'
        option hwmode '11g'
        option htmode 'HT40'
        option channel 'auto'
        option disabled '0'
        option device_mode 'apsta'
        option op_mode 'preference'

config wifi-iface 'ap'
        option device 'radio0'
        option mode 'ap'
        option network 'wlan'
        option ifname 'ra0'
        option encryption 'psk2'
        option key '12345678'
        option disabled '0'
        option ssid 'Omega-99A5'

config wifi-iface 'sta'
        option device 'radio0'
        option mode 'sta'
        option ifname 'apcli0'
        option encryption 'psk2'
        option network 'wwan'
        option disabled '0'
        option key 'MyPassword'
        option ssid 'DIGI-xxxx'

config wifi-config
        option key 'MyPassword'
        option ssid 'DIGI-xxxx'
        option encryption 'psk2'

    The wifi will turn off totally if you set option disabled '1' either in the wifi-device 'radio0' section or in the wifi-iface 'ap' section (or in both;)
    but you can turn off only the wifi station in the wifi-iface 'sta' section.

    Please could you explain why is "a large security hole" a working WiFi AP with a strong password on Omega2(+)?

    @György-Farkas In the stable version of the Omega2 i could not access the Wi-Fi AP Settings on the web console so i was just thinking it was disables as it said nothing of the Wi-Fi AP in the start up guide. So i got very surprised when i was going to setup my second Omega2 and saw the the AP from the first one. The normal thing here would be to disable the AP until the user asked for it again. Now i have had a Omega2 running in my network for months with a default AP and password! It is like if D-link would send out routers with a predefined WiFi password. So if you can't disable the AP make sure the guide helps you change the password else it is just like running a open AP for everyone!

    @Paul-Cousins Same exact thing happened. Can’t believe how accurate you stated.

    What worked for me was to make backup copies, then copied the original config files from /rom/ to /etc/

    cp -rf /rom/etc/config/ /etc/config/
    cp -rf /rom/etc/dnsmasq.conf /etc/
    cp -rf /rom/etc/rc.local /etc/

    This sets back working system.

    Any news on this? http://community.onion.io/topic/2246/cannot-satisfy-dependencies-for-kmod-usb-net-rndis
    It is still not possible to install rndis 😞

    For anyone experiencing issues with WiFi after upgrading, it's likely that your Omega still has the configuration and wifi programs from the previous firmware, but is now running the new driver (which is not compatible with the old configs).
    If you're in this situation, I would recommend to back-up anything you don't want to lose from the Omega to a USB and perform a factory reset. The same effect can be achieved with @michael-bourque 's method above

    More WiFi Fixes

    Also, we've been investigating some of the open issues with WiFi and have made more fixes.

    Here's the updated list:

    • WPA2
      • AES works
      • AES+TKIP works
      • TKIP works - connects within ~20 seconds as of b182
    • WPA (out-dated and should not be used)
      • AES works - connects within ~20 seconds as of b182
      • AES+TKIP works - connects within ~20 seconds as of b182
      • TKIP works
    • WEP (out-dated and should not be used)
      • Shared Key Authentication works
      • Open System Authentication does not work
    • Open Networks (not secure and should not be used)
      • Works as of b178

    Kernel Module Installation

    It is now possible to install additional kernel modules on your Omega but the following conditions must be met:

    • Your Omega must be on the very latest available firmware
      • If you're on b181 and b182 is available, the installation will not work
    • The kernel modules must be from the Onion Package Repo (no kernel modules from the LEDE/OpenWRT package repos can be installed)

    If there are kernel modules you would like to use that are not in our package repo, please let us know and we'll do our best to include them in a timely fashion.

    @michael-bourque thanks for that! 🙂 I left the device alone for a couple of weeks and then updated to b183 - it is now stable and connecting to wifi on it's own like it should. I am not going to use it on my production devices yet though - still need to put it through it's paces but I think all will be ok going forward!

    The new OS release has Kernel crashes when trying to do things with Audio. I cannot seem to run through these steps without a crash:
