[arm-allstar] RPi2-3 V1.02beta - Initial Setup - CRDA Error

[Doug Crompton]

John,

 What are you using to get wifi running - this was my message to the list. You need to get this package.
A Hamvoip package for utilizing wireless on the RPi3 is now available. This package ONLY
 works on the RPi3 and with the current RPi2-3 1.02beta download on the 
hamvoip.org website. So far tests show that wireless on the Pi3 works 
very well and has good range. The recommendation at this point is to get
 an RPi3 if you want to use wireless or use the IOgear or equivalent 
adapter as describe in the wireless howto on the Pi2 or BBB. The 
wireless howto will be updated soon to include the RPi3. For now all the
 instructions you need are below....

If you would like to try wireless on the RPi3 download this package to your RPi3

Web download -




https://hamvoip.org/downloads/hamvoip-wireless-config-0.1-6.pkg.tar.xz

Or on your Pi3 go to the the root directory 

cd 

then

wget https://hamvoip.org/downloads/hamvoip-wireless-config-0.1-6.pkg.tar.xz

Then install the package with the following command

pacman -U --force hamvoip-wireless-config-0.1.6.pkg.tar.xz"
when done, execute:
wireless-setup.sh
Select
 your wireless access point and give the passphrase. It will then give 
you further instructions and ask you to disconnect the wired connection.
 When the system is rebooted it will be using the wireless connection.

Note
 that the wireless connection will be a new local IP address. You should
 hear this in your radio if you had everything setup in the wired mode 
previously. You could also get this IP address from your router or by 
reading the CW from the LED on the board. 

While port forwarding 
is not necessary especially in mobile nodes if you don't have it enabled
 you will only be able to connect outbound. To setup port forwarding 
first make the assigned wireless IP address permanent in your router. 
Every router does this differently but most all have the capability 
based on the Pi boards MAC address to come up on the same IP every time 
it is booted. Once you have that setup if you desire port forwarding you
 can set that up pointing to the permanently assigned wireless IP 
address.

There is a "wireless-control.sh" script to enable and disable the wifi interface as well as showing status.
Example screen for selecting wireless access point -

Perhaps I spoke too soon. The Pi3 disconnected from the wireless network after a few minutes. Ran wifi-menu -o again, and after reboot, it seems to be working again. Is there a value I'm missing to ensure that the wifi configuration is written to the Pi?

John,

 Thanks for the input. I am glad it is working well for you.

The CDRA message is a missing module that we will correct. Long story short wifi has different rules in different countries about what frequencies can be used and this is a method to enforce that. It will, as you experienced, timeout after about 8 tries. So ignore it for now.

My RPi3 came in today. Initial configuration went well - except for one recurring error message: "Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain."  Attempts time out after about 8 tries. The remainder of the setup went well after getting past the "CRDA" error. 
Even Wifi configuration was a snap. Issued a wifi-menu -o at the prompt, it scanned for available connections and logged in without error after selecting my device and entering the password (That was easy...). 
Lots of little things to set properly including audio levels, but I just wanted to provide some initial feedback and say, "well done" to the team. Thanks for making life simpler for those of us who couldn't do it without your forethought and efforts. Thank you!
