Hey all,
I have been puzzling a while now, to create an home made accespoint in linux where the 3ds can connects to, or use it to connect to the NintendoZone.
After a while I got everything workinge, that will say. I can create a hotspot, my tablet can connect to it and surf with it. The only thing here is, is that my 3DS wont recognize this point (even when scanning it doesn't see it), so I hope one of you can help me out.
I use my network card from my laptop and a tp-link dongle
software I am using:
-linux
-hostapd
-dnsmasq
my configuration
hostapd:
interface=wlan1
driver=nl80211
ssid=attwifi
channel=6
hw_mode=g
dnsmasq:
no-resolv
# Interface to bind to
interface=wlan1
# Specify starting_range,end_range,lease_time
dhcp-range=10.0.0.3,10.0.0.20,12h
# dns addresses to send to the clients
server=8.8.8.8
server=8.8.4.4
A script which I am running before starting hostapd:
killall dnsmasq
ifconfig wlan1 up 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
sleep 2
dnsmasq
iptables --flush
iptables --table nat --flush
iptables --delete-chain
iptables --table nat --delete-chain
iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface wlan1 -j ACCEPT
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
after some googling i found out that it could be my DNS settings (it is advised to use 8.8.8.8). so I pinged the connection settings with my tablet and it says 10.0.0.1, and with dnsmasq killed 192.168.0.1.
p.s. if i change 10.0.0.1 in the script before starting hostapd the connection could not get an ip adress.
thanks in advance
