Title: Configuring WiFi crashes the system
Post by: almodovaris on December 12, 2021, 11:10:13 pm
Hi, I have already sent the crash report.

When trying to configure WiFi, it crashed. The easy way it says something about cannot clone WiFi adapter, due to lacking BSSID support or something like that.

Here is what works:

Code: [Select]
<opt4>
      <descr>OPT4</descr>
      <if>ath0_wlan0</if>
      <wireless>
        <mode>hostap</mode>
        <standard>11ng</standard>
        <protmode>off</protmode>
        <ssid>my_own_network</ssid>
        <channel>1</channel>
        <channel_width>ht/20</channel_width>
        <authmode/>
        <txpower>99</txpower>
        <distance>0</distance>
        <regdomain>EIST3</regdomain>
        <regcountry>GB</regcountry>
        <reglocation>indoor</reglocation>
        <wpa>
          <macaddr_acl/>
          <wpa_mode>2</wpa_mode>
          <wpa_key_mgmt>WPA-PSK</wpa_key_mgmt>
          <wpa_pairwise>CCMP</wpa_pairwise>
          <wpa_group_rekey>60</wpa_group_rekey>
          <wpa_gmk_rekey>3600</wpa_gmk_rekey>
          <passphrase>my_own_password</passphrase>
          <ext_wpa_sw/>
          <wpa_eap_client_mode>PEAP</wpa_eap_client_mode>
          <wpa_eap_inner_auth>MSCHAPV2</wpa_eap_inner_auth>
          <wpa_eap_inner_id/>
          <wpa_eap_inner_password/>
          <wpa_eap_cert>61ad9b3de6747</wpa_eap_cert>
          <wpa_eap_ca/>
          <enable/>
        </wpa>
        <auth_server_addr/>
        <auth_server_port/>
        <auth_server_shared_secret/>
        <auth_server_addr2/>
        <auth_server_port2/>
        <auth_server_shared_secret2/>
        <wme>
          <enable/>
        </wme>
        <apbridge>
          <enable/>
        </apbridge>
      </wireless>
      <enable/>
      <ipaddr>192.168.133.8</ipaddr>
      <subnet>24</subnet>
      <spoofmac/>
    </opt4>

I copied it from pfSense, restored the edited config, and this is part of the now working Opnsense config.

Crashes as in system panic?

No panic. I get invited nicely to submit a crash report. The firewall does not stop working.

This is the reworked config:

Code: [Select]
    <opt4>
      <if>ath0_wlan0</if>
      <wireless>
        <mode>hostap</mode>
        <standard>11ng</standard>
        <protmode>off</protmode>
        <ssid>my_own_network</ssid>
        <channel>1</channel>
        <channel_width>ht/20</channel_width>
        <authmode/>
        <txpower>99</txpower>
        <distance>0</distance>
        <regdomain>etsi</regdomain>
        <regcountry>GB</regcountry>
        <reglocation>indoor</reglocation>
        <wpa>
          <macaddr_acl/>

Do I get this right: You hacked your OPNsense config with a snip from pfsense config.xml and wonder why that doesn't work? :-)

No he said it doesn't work unless you stuff the pfSense configuration into the GUI circumventing some sort of validation that seems to be obsolete and needs to be removed from OPNsense. I'll take a look this afternoon. :)

Hmmm, I configured WAN with a wifi device recently

https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=25931.msg125088#msg125088

that worked just fine, but the wifi device was already in the (older, as in about 3-4 years old) config.xml.
