Create a new Hotspot with just Terminal and NetworkManager/nmcli

996

The description in the question on SO that I linked in my comment above actually worked on my RasPi 2 with Raspbian Jessie. I simply followed steps 0-4 there (changing step 3 as needed for the RasPi 2 hardware according to the official documentation) and then set up the access point with network manager.

I took all the settings for the latter from the access point I created with ubuntu on my notebook. In particular,

802-11-wireless-security.proto:         rsn
802-11-wireless-security.pairwise:      ccmp
802-11-wireless-security.group:         ccmp

seem to be somehow important for WPA.

However, the downside might be that you probably have to do all the compiling again every time a new kernel version is released.

      I think I have a very similar problem on my RasPi 2 with the same WiFi Dongle. Maybe NetworkManager has the same problem with this chipset as hostapd (see e.g. daveconroy.com/… or raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=103825&p=717560 ), but I can't find a solution for NetworkManager.

      well until now i did not find any solution with networkmanager/nmcli. then i thought i should just go with hostapd for my wlan1 interface and let it be in the /etc/network/interfaces file. wlan0 is managed by network manager. i followed this howto: http://jankarres.de/2015/06/raspberry-pi-wlan-access-point-e‌​inrichten/ it is in german. but i think it is very clear.

      Sure that's a possible workaround, but I'd really like to use NetworkManager, it's just so much easier... And I don't understand why it works with Ubuntu 15.04 on my notebook, but not with the newer Raspbian Jessie. Maybe I'll try to install some different OS on the RasPi, if I have time.

      well with hostapd it is not that hard. if you want i can send you some config files of mine. and a little script to "toggle" the service. but i understand you. i wanted the solution with network manager so it is just one package i need to run the system. but it is ok now with hostapd+networkmanager.

      Thank you, but I'm quite sure I could do it with hostapd if I wanted too (the tutorial you linked above looks good, and I am german). I just found stackoverflow.com/questions/32703715/… and I will try that now :-)

    i won't try this solution (since really no time and the project is actually finished). but if you say it worked for you i guess i should accept this answer for now
