[Freedombox-discuss] Testing freedombox on A20-OLinuXIno-LIME2-4GB

[Jan Costermans]

Hello,

A quick update as I am currently testing the freedombox image for olinuxino
A20 from Sunil and can also confirm it works out of the box.

The freedombox can be accessed by browsing to https://freedombox/ if the
olinuxino ethernet is plugged in.

I have configured it as an access point using the MOD-WIFI-R5370-ANT
adapter. The wifi was detected automatically and the freedombox can be
confiured as an access point from within pllinth.
I did add contrib and non-free to the sources.lis,) but I am not sure this
was even necessary as it was already recognized.

I use the following settings:

    Firewall Zone: Internal
    SSID: MyFreedomBox
    Mode: Access Point
    Authentication Mode: WPA
    Passphrase: mysecretpassphrase
    IPv4 Addressing Method: Shared


*Some random notes:*
 - Once the wifi is activated, you can access the freedombox by browsing to
https://10.42.0.1/. (The IP address from the ethernet port also still
works, but https://freedombox/ does not work anymore)
- Speed and range of the olinuxino + usb wifi antenna are great. Better
than expected.
- I tried adding a second connection on the same wifi module, but this
deactivated the other configured connection. Would have been nice to be
able to have multiple SSID's for a separate guest and a TOR network. I
think I've seen this working with yunohost a while ago.

@Sunil: Many thanks for your work!
