Running Colibir iMX6ULL WB with Linux Console image 2.8b3.111 and trying to setup an Access Point on internal Wifi. Stated with a fresh image and changed the following:
# opkg update
# opkg install dnsmasq
Only changes made to:
/etc/hostapd.conf
interface=uap0
ssid=watereye
hw_mode=g // default
channel=1 // default
own_ip_addr=192.168.8.1
#wpa=1 // no wpa
Only changes made to:
/etc/dnsmasq.conf
interface=uap0
dhcp-range=192.168.8.50,192.168.8.150,2h
no-hosts
To stop clash on Port 53 between connman and dnsmasq. add --nodnsporxy to connman ExecStart:
/lib/systemd/system/connman.service,
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/connmand -n --nodnsproxy
To provide the uap0 with an address and use dns, create the following file:
/etc/systemd/network/hostapd.network
[Match]
Name=uap0
[Network]
Address=192.168.8.1/24
DHCPServer=yes
Enable the required serivices
# connmanctl enable wifi
# systemctl enable hostapd
# systemctl enable dnsmasq
# reboot
- no errors in system load
- ssid on wifi can be seen but no connection
Run # ifconfig

If i now stop dnsmasq and restart it mannul with logging, I get the following:
Run # dnsmasq --no-daemon --log-queries
dnsmasq: started, version 2.78 cachesize 150
dnsmasq: compile time options: IPv6 GNU-getopt no-DBus no-i18n no-IDN DHCP DHCPv6 no-Lua TFTP no-conntrack ipset auth no-DNSSEC loop-detect inotify

dnsmasq-dhcp: DHCP packet received on uap0 which has no address
dnsmasq-dhcp: DHCP packet received on uap0 which has no address
dnsmasq-dhcp: DHCP packet received on uap0 which has no address
Now if i disable dsnmasq then reboot, the uap0 IP address appears:
Run # systemctl status dnsmasq
dnsmasq.service - DNS forwarder and DHCP server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)

inet addr:192.168.8.1 Bcast:192.168.8.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
When DNSMASQ is running, i am not getting an IP address for the wifi AP (uap0) and the AP is not allowing connection.
Any advise on where the problem may be or what to try would be greatly appreciated.
