MK808/Wheezy - hostap, WPA does not work but WEP is working

[ARMCONF_FR]

Hi all,

I have an old MK808, this version has RK901 built in (without Bluetooth). The wifi chip is bcm40181.
Wifi clients are able to connect to MK808/hostap when I set WEP autentification or if I desable athentifacation at all.
I do not know why the clients can not connect to it when I set WPA or WPA2.

When WPAor WPA2 is set in hostap.conf, If I run /usr/local/bin/hostapd -B /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf I have the following log
tail -f /var/log/syslog

Please, do some one has an idea of this problem ?

Howto compile and flash a Linux kernel for MK808 by JBOX

Prerequierments

- USB harddisk or SD card 8GB class 10 with an ext4 partition
called linuxroot + ARMHF rootfs

Software

- PC with Linux installed
- rkflashtool (flashes the software to nand)
- rkcrc (adds a crc to the kernel image)
- mkbootimg (makes a recovery image)

- MK808 Finless 1.7c ROM (gives root access)
- original firmware:

Inside a terminal:

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
sudo apt-get install lzop
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi

# download or copy your favorite kernel source
# for example:

cd kernel

# export your toolchain settings

dpkg -L gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-

# copy a default config as starting point

cp mk808.config .config

# make some changes in kernel source and config
# make HDMI and (blacklight) blue led work together
# add bcmdhd module and set the right GPIO bits
# etc.

# select your modules

make menuconfig

# if make gives an error then
# make clean
# and return to
# make menuconfig

make -j2

# copy your modules as su
# (change INSTALL_MOD_PATH to /lib/modules of your mounted linuxroot)

sudo make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=../modules/

# sync and unmount linuxroot on your USB harddisk or SD card
# and connect/insert it with/in the MK808

# add crc to kernel zImage if you want linux only

rkcrc -k ./arch/arm/boot/zImage ../mk808.img

## make a recovery image if you want to keep android
## mkbootimg --kernel ./arch/arm/boot/Image
## --ramdisk ../initramfs/fakeramdisk.gz --base 60400000
## --pagesize 16384 --ramdiskaddr 62000000 -o ../recovery.img

cd ..

# if mtdparts gives 0x00008000@0x00004000(kernel) as kernel position
# then flash else change rkflashtool parameters first

sudo rkflashtool w 0x4000 0x8000 < mk808.img

## if mtdparts gives 0x00008000@0x00014000(recovery) as recovery position
## then flash else change rkflashtool parameters first
## sudo rkflashtool w 0x14000 0x8000 < recovery.img

# finish flashing and the MK808 will boot with 2 pinguins on the screen

sudo rkflashtool b

# disconnect the MK808 from the PC and connect it to it's own power supply
# and enjoy your new fanless Linux system

Typo fixes:

==> export CHROOT=/var/chroot/wheezy
==> export DISK=/dev/mmcblk1p1
==> sudo schroot -e -c wheezy

add extra line to rkflashtool.c:

if (!(h = libusb_open_device_with_vid_pid(c, 0x2207, 0x290a)))
if (!(h = libusb_open_device_with_vid_pid(c, 0x2207, 0x281a)))
==> if (!(h = libusb_open_device_with_vid_pid(c, 0x2207, 0x300a)))
