Hi all, this has nothing to do with the functionality of the Arduino or sensors or anything. Only the Linino Linux and general setup of things. I cannot for the world of me get it to act as an AP and route packages.
starting from scratch:
boot the Yun, connect to the Wireless it creates, log into the web interface, set a new password, select configure a wireless network and save and restart. After maybe 3 minutes it again comes up like from the very start with the Yun unprotected network with an error saying it had errors during bootup. This I tried many times with many different encryption and names and all kinds, nothing worked.
So going in to advanced directly, while the Yun still has it's very own start network unencrypted it is possible from there to change the wireless names and encryption and stuff. This works like a charm but by default it seems the system is not routing anything. I can understand that it needs to be configured farther.
So, going in to the firewall configurations (making sure the etherenet port is in WAN and the wireless is in LAN) I create rules for allowing anything on lan, all protocols to go to WAN, no dice, I create the SNAT policy to masq all traffic originating from the LAN to have the WAN IP of the Yun. still no dice, I do this many times and no luck anywhere.
Being some sort of a Linux person, having dealt with similar issues before I verfiy the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip forward setting is correct, that the firewall is loaded properly, the fact that the Linino operating system can reach things, no problem
I try loading the latest version from Linino.org and it has the same exact issues.
So what the hell am I doing wrong?
