Arithmatics Yes, it will prompt you that new update is available, but don't install it untill you select to do so.

Oh god but then i'll be nagged about it forever wouldn't I?

Thanks for the answer.

Not sure, mos probably it is possible to remove the downloaded update data with the 3DS data configuretion or from the SD card manually. Update download may be disabled by configuring DNS, there is a guide topic in Nintendo Network subforum.

Yeah but can I dns with this streetpass network though? wouldn't there be complications?

So this is the native hostapd config used by the ap-hotspot. Can't find full man for ap-hotspot so wait till I'll intall the latest U 14 Desktop on VMWare and check it options. I agree if it is working it should be used as a workaround for that distro as long as we do not investigate the native hostapd method.

The options are the following:

19:52:28 ~$ sudo ap-hotspot
Usage:ap-hotspot [argument]

start start wireless hotspot
stop stop wireless hotspot
restart restart wireless hotspot
configure configure hotspot
debug start with detailed messages

So the important are start, stop and restart maybe. There is no man, here is the source: https://github.com/hotice/AP-Hotspot/blob/master/ap-hotspot

Arithmatics You'll be the first to try, very probably it will work!

serginator looks like it is only a shell script, so we can use it to investigate changes! I'd better dig into that script and use it upproach to force hostapd run as it normally should on U 14
upd: did not find anything special except that dnsmasq and hostapd init scripts is launched, this may solve the issue. I'll check it sources. Anyway there is much excessive work done in ap-hotspot in terms of homepass script.
Can you alter your test script like that and check for the errors and MAC change:

Code:

[FONT=Consolas]#!/bin/bash
macs=(
    "4e:53:50:4f:4f:40" "4e:53:50:4f:4f:41" "4e:53:50:4f:4f:42" "4e:53:50:4f:4f:43"
    "4e:53:50:4f:4f:44" "4e:53:50:4f:4f:45" "4e:53:50:4f:4f:46" "4e:53:50:4f:4f:47"
    "4e:53:50:4f:4f:48" "4e:53:50:4f:4f:49" "4e:53:50:4f:4f:4A" "4e:53:50:4f:4f:4B"
    "4e:53:50:4f:4f:4C" "4e:53:50:4f:4f:4D" "4e:53:50:4f:4f:4E" "4e:53:50:4f:4f:4F"
)
 
for i in "${macs[@]}"
do
    echo "Using $i MAC address for the hotspot"
[COLOR=#ff0000] sudo killall hostapd[/COLOR]
    sleep 10
    sudo ifconfig wlan0 down hw ether "$i" up
    sleep 5
[COLOR=#ff0000] sudo hostapd -B /etc/ap-hotspot.conf[/COLOR]
    echo "Waiting 1 minute..."
    sleep 60
done[/FONT]

Well duke_srg

I can confirm that it works with dns so there's no update required nag

TheCocoCici · Dec 17, 2014

Does the trick still work with an encrypted hotspot and version 9.4.0 ?

duke_srg · Dec 17, 2014

TheCocoCici

You do not need to use DNS trick if you're already on 9.4.0!

I was talking about the homepass ^^, because the hotspot seems not to be recognized as a nintendo zone.

I guess there are more stuff ap-hotspot.sh does than just kill and start hostapd

That's the cause of the issue, the same physical interface can't be used for hotspot and the internet access in linux version. So switch to the wirted connection or add anothe wireless interface

Ah all right, would that work on windows? My problem is that I'm on the third floor and I can't really get wired internet here (at least not for less than 50 bucks so that's not really a priority when wireless works fine).

Oh, sure, syslog was more informative hehe, the output has the same error as before:

You can try to configure the virtual subinterface and set is as a default connection, but that also may require script modification, not really sure.
Windows version must be able to run with the single wireless interface, however there might also be issues.

Well, that was the working output for Debian version! Can you check AP availability with 3DS now?
Or just comment all nmcli and rfkill calls in nzone and check if it is working now?
