WPS AP pin mode

[neverknowpast]

I tried config WPS AP pin mode, folowing https://github.com/xradvanyip/hostapd-openwrt/blob/master/hostapd/README-WPS, but it didn't work.

Here is my step:

• set wps_label and wps_pin to uci config wireless
• hostapd_cli wps_ap_pin set $PIN
• hostapd_cli wps_ap_pin enable

But enable command didn't successfully, it return "FAIL"

Anyone know which config I am missing?

First thing I saw on the repository linked was " Customized HostAP application for the InvisibleWiFi project. "

sorry I don't understand what you are meaning, can you tell more detail about it?

No worries.

Those instructions look to be not from vanilla openwrt?

What is the device and openwrt version?

ubus call system board

here is my openwrt version:
admin@iGate:~# ubus call system board
{
"kernel": "5.10.138",
"hostname": "iGate",
"system": "ARMv8 Processor rev 0",
"model": "AX3000 GPON ONT",

I don't exactly know that, but my source code already have this packet. Do you know any way else to enable ap pin mode?

I'm going to quote @frollic here:

@frollic

It appears you are using firmware that is not from the official OpenWrt project.

When using forks/offshoots/vendor-specific builds that are "based on OpenWrt", there may be many differences compared to the official versions (hosted by OpenWrt.org). Some of these customizations may fundamentally change the way that OpenWrt works. You might need help from people with specific/specialized knowledge about the firmware you are using, so it is possible that advice you get here may not be useful.

You may find that the best options are:

1. Install an official version of OpenWrt, if your device is supported (see https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org).
2. Ask for help from the maintainer(s) or user community of the specific firmware that you are using.
3. Provide the source code for the firmware so that users on this forum can understand how your firmware works (OpenWrt forum users are volunteers, so somebody might look at the code if they have time and are interested in your issue).

If you believe that this specific issue is common to generic/official OpenWrt and/or the maintainers of your build have indicated as such, please feel free to clarify.

Here's the hostapd documentation for openwrt:

if you have the source code, shouldn't the question be asked the guy staring back at you in the mirror ?

You need more complete hostapd (wpad) package than default for wps.

You have to ask

VNPT-T

For a fix.
