================================================ Wireless Ethernet Bridge Mode (WET Bridge Mode) ================================================ WET Bridge Mode allows Astra Machina to connect to a WiFi Network and then bridge the WiFI connection to wired ethernet devices connected to the ethernet port. To Enable WET Bridge Mode ========================= 1. Flash the platform with the WET enable image. 2. Once bootup, create the WPA_Supplicant configuration file as shown below. **wpa_supplicant.conf** for connecting to an WPA-PSK Wi-Fi network: :: cat < /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=0 update_config=1 network={ ssid="Guest" psk="0807-2520" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK proto=WPA2 pairwise=CCMP TKIP group=CCMP TKIP scan_ssid=1 } EOF **wpa_supplicant.conf** for connecting to an open Wi-Fi network: :: cat < /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=0 update_config=1 network={ ssid="open-AP" key_mgmt=NONE } EOF 3. To establish a connection, plug the Ethernet cable into both the platform and the laptop. The resulting connection will appear as follows: .. figure:: media/wet_bridge_diagram.png 4. Run the attached script to create the WET bridge. :: set -x iface=wlan0 briface=br0 ethiface=eth0 ifcmd=ifconfig iwcmd=iw brcmd=brctl ipcmd=ip wlcmd=wl.wet dhdcmd=dhd.wet $ifcmd $briface down $brcmd delif $briface $ethiface $brcmd delif $briface $iface $brcmd delbr $briface sleep 1 $ifcmd $iface up $wlcmd mpc 0 $wlcmd PM 0 $wlcmd up wpa_supplicant -B -Dnl80211 -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf sleep 10 $wlcmd status sleep 2 $iwcmd dev $iface set 4addr on $brcmd addbr $briface $brcmd addif $briface $ethiface $brcmd addif $briface $iface $brcmd show sleep 2 kill $(ps | grep udhcpc | grep $iface | awk 'FNR == 1 {print $1}') > /dev/null 2>&1 kill $(ps | grep udhcpc | grep $briface | awk 'FNR == 1 {print $1}') > /dev/null 2>&1 sleep 1 mac=$($wlcmd cur_etheraddr | awk '{print $2}') echo mac $mac $dhdcmd -i $iface wet 1 $dhdcmd -i $iface wet_host_mac $mac sleep 1 #dhclient -v $briface udhcpc -i $briface -b ipv4=$($ipcmd -4 addr show $briface | awk -F '[ /\t]+' '$2=="inet"{print $3; exit}') echo ipv4 $ipv4 $dhdcmd -i $iface wet_host_ipv4 $ipv4 5. Laptop should able to get the IP and able to browse internet.
