system:
-raspberry pi 4
-debian 10
-dhcp
-wpa_supplicant
# custom start
-hostapd
-dnsmasq # required by hostapd right?
### my goals ###
# (1) wifi that i can ssh, vnc, whatever, up at all times regardless of
# internet connection
# (2) independent wifi that can be configured by afore mentioned
# wifi on other interface
# (3) i really expected this list to be longer with how long i have spent on this
### my issues ###
i can get the ap to work when there is internet no problem
but if i get my ap up when there is no internet, then it only stays up for a few seconds.
i can connect to it but after a few seconds it drops out.
i can get the ap up when there is no internet! but then i cant get the internet
on the pi or on the device i am using to connect to the pi
at this point i am thinking that dnsmasq and dhcp(cd?) can NOT run together.
i have tried adding 'deny interface' to dhcpcd.conf, adding 'bind interfaces' to dnsmasq.conf
i have tried giving my "interface" a static address in dhcpcd.conf
right now im trying to figure out how chroot works so maybe i can disallow my main system from
main system and allow it in a "jail" where i have installed dnsmasq.
this has been a wonderful learning experience, but im getting very tired of following tutorials
to only find out that its an outdated way of doing it.

Have you also asked on the Raspberry Pi Forums? https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/

No i have not. I figured it was more of a software thing than a hardware thing. Im assuming i would have the same problem on my desktop.arochester wrote:Have you also asked on the Raspberry Pi Forums? https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/
Although i am quite new at unflavored debian.
I have a debian usb ill see if i have the same issue on x64 when i get home
Re: im lost somewhere between hostapd, dnsmasq, hdcp, and wp
I really think im running into a problem with dnsmasq and dhcpcd conflicting. Or maybe one of them is going down because there is no ip address?
Humm... maybe thats it! Does anyone know how i can have an ip address regardless of network connectivity?
