I’m trying to configure my BBB Wireless (latest kernel) w/ the latest debian image as an access point. By default, the device is already set, as I see BeagleBone-xxxx as an wireless SSID available to connect to. Is there somewhere I can change this SSID and password, and assign a static IP too. I’ve tried making a new hostapd.conf entry on my own, but it’s apparently getting overwritten somehow by the default configuration. Any advice or link to where I can step through configuring this would be highly appreciated… thank you!
Respectfully,
Eric
Hi Eric,
look at:
/etc/default/bb-wl18xx
I'm trying to configure my BBB Wireless (latest kernel) w/ the latest debian
image as an access point. By default, the device is already set, as I see
BeagleBone-xxxx as an wireless SSID available to connect to. Is there
somewhere I can change this SSID and password, and assign a static IP too.
USE_WL18XX_IP_PREFIX = ip subnet block
USE_PERSONAL_SSID = BeagleBone
USE_PERSONAL_PASSWORD = password
USE_APPENDED_SSID = "-xxxx"
I've tried making a new hostapd.conf entry on my own, but it's apparently
getting overwritten somehow by the default configuration. Any advice or
USE_GENERATED_HOSTAPD=no will defult to your custom /etc/hostapd.conf
link to where I can step through configuring this would be highly
appreciated... thank you!
Regards,
