Tutorial [HOW-TO] Have a homemade Streetpass Relay

[BerserkLeon]

Just to be clear...is this for the virtual router network method? I don't want to spend my money and then have no idea what I'm doing :x

you can use it that way, but the driver includes a utility that has that function as well.

i had to do a reset on my modem, and now i'm no longer getting passes. it's not detecting a nintendozone, though i can connect to the wifi (attwifi) manually without a problem

i can ssh in and it can dns stuff fine; /tmp/nzone.macs is filled, etc

any suggestions?

 

[Brodius]

Will this work for the router method?

Will this work in a WRT54G2 v.1 with the latest stock firmware? Or do I really have to flash DD-WRT? The stock firmware has MAC cloning; I tried but didn't work.

Seems you already answered your own question!

Yeah, I don't want to mess around with it because it's not mine. I was hoping I could still use it with stock.

I understand that, but that doesn't change the fact that you need to install DD-WRT to get it working. 99 out of 100 times when you can clone MAC in stock firmware it means you can clone it on the WAN port only which is no use for StreetPass Relay. You need DD-WRT, no doubt about it.

home_zone is already executable (look the output of the ls -la | grep home_zone) and the sudo command is the one i give. with wlan1 since that's the name of the interface of the dongle.

I think I MIGHT know why its happening this but it's not plausible, can you tell the model of your wifi card?

Can anyone please explain to me how to use this script? I used the code to put in administration commanes. However I don't understabd what to put in cron...

There was a mismatch in the manual, you should just paste script and push Run Commands, but NOT Save ... button.

Once you have DD-WRT and your SSID set to "attwifi"; go to the Cron Job..I think it's under Administration and simply copy/paste this.

0-59/4 * * * * root ifconfig eth1 down && ifconfig eth1 hw ether 40:53:50:4F:4F:`/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1``/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1` && ifconfig eth1 up
2-59/4 * * * * root ifconfig eth1 down && ifconfig eth1 hw ether 4E:53:50:4F:4F:`/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1``/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1` && ifconfig eth1 up

With your code I have adapted it to OPENWRT. In web interface Luci, in System->Scheduled Tasks copy:

*/3 * * * * uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].macaddr='40:53:50:4f:4f:'`/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1``/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1` && uci commit && wifi

Press Submit.

After, in tab System->Startup press Restart in Cron service.

Then every 3 minutes it changes the mac and reset the wifi connection.

check Wifi-driver reload and Wifi-driver reload 2

I am not able to find any option for Wifi-driver reload in the settings tab. Please help me.
Thank you.

Works like a charm! Thanks for the script, I used it like this though:

0-59/6 * * * * uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[2].macaddr='40:53:50:4f:4f:'`/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1``/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1` && uci commit && wifi
3-59/6 * * * * uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[2].macaddr='4E:53:50:4f:4f:'`/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1``/bin/cat /proc/interrupts | /usr/bin/md5sum | /usr/bin/cut -b 1` && uci commit && wifi

My attwifi SSID is my third network, hence the [2] if your attwifi network is the first, use [0] if it is the second [1] and so forth. This way we get more StreetPasses on OpenWRT. I will go back using my alternative router though, don't really want my complete wifi to restart every 3 minutes. With my alternative router in action my main wifi works without interruptions and I still get my SPs. Better that way for me, but it is great to know we can use it with OpenWRT as well, very nice and so easy!

it's a tp-link tl-wn823n

This one? http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-WN823N
If yes your dongle has SoftAP. Just change your mac on windows and run the sofap with attwifi and no security. No need to do on ubuntu.

yes that one.
i have no win pc. my pc is a 100% ubuntu this is why i'm following that one

Please update your script, maybe you're using a bugged version with the increasing time between MAC changes.

After update to V3.3 script,
still doesn't get a lot of street pass,
only got 4 pass in last 24 hour,
but mac change is working fine,
maybe some mac number can't do street pass now?

49,gbatemp,base 16 lists are enough to get full mii plaza streetpasses in one night for me. If you're using base256, maybe this is the problem. Just give it a time, you're not the only onw who are using this script, as soon it changes macs it should be fine now

Is there a Mac Address for Mario and Luigi Dream team bros?

 

[BerserkLeon]

it's a tp-link tl-wn823n

whilst getting a softap working with your card is possible, under linux you can't change the mac address due to the driver screwup with rtlwifi, and the 8192cu driver doesn't allow you to either.. although that at least allows you to use the net with it.
If you don't want to use windows you'll need another card. It looks like TP-Link has been going with realtek for most of their newer cards, so if you definitely want a working card, I'd get the TL-WN722N.. as it hasn't had any revisions since its first one. Ath9k does support mac changing and works under linux for hostapd.
I'd recommend the 822N, but even it's been changed to an rtl8192cu in its most recent revision.
(and the 723N is an rtl8188eu in its newest revision, which is why I'd go with the 722N.)

Also to be clear, I don't think you can receive intnernet with it while you're using it for hostapd, you'll need an ethernet cable plugged in, and either bridged or manually connected to your wlan interface (i.e.: follow http://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-wifi-access-point/install-software or find one that mentions making a bridge between eth0 and wlan0... and ignore the part about replacing hostapd)

i got something like 200 streetpass today, completed almost all puzzles
