[PROBLEM] Wifi Issue

Some things in network portion of your log look ok and some don't.

Here's what I mean:

Code:

20210119 052302 worker: -- Network
20210119 052302 worker: eth0 exists
20210119 052302 worker: eth0 wait 0 for IP address
20210119 052305 worker: eth0 wait 1 for IP address
20210119 052308 worker: eth0 wait 2 for IP address
20210119 052311 worker: eth0 wait 3 for IP address
20210119 052314 worker: eth0 wait 4 for IP address
20210119 052317 worker: eth0 address not assigned

OK, so far. The system detected the ethernet adapter but gave up after trying 5 times to get an IP assignment.  This is to be expected if you are disconnected from the ethernet and are configured to use DHCP for IP assignment.

Code:

20210119 052317 worker: wlan0 exists
20210119 052317 worker: wifi country (IN)
20210119 052317 worker: wlan0 trying SSID (FTTH-6BA1)
20210119 052318 worker: wlan0 wait 0 for IP address
20210119 052321 worker: wlan0 wait 1 for IP address
20210119 052324 worker: wlan0 wait 2 for IP address
20210119 052327 worker: wlan0 wait 3 for IP address
20210119 052330 worker: wlan0 wait 4 for IP address
20210119 052333 worker: wlan0 no IP addr for SSID (FTTH-6BA1)

Having failed with ethernet, the system moved on to WiFi. It detected the WiFi adapter and tried to associated with an AP with the SSID "FTTH-6BA1". Not shown for security reasons is the password you gave for this SSID, but it is the one being used. Again, it gave up after trying 5 times to associate and get assigned an IP. This is to be expected if the SSID is wrong or the password wrong or both.

Now, however, something unexpected

Code:

20210119 052333 worker: wlan0 AP mode started
20210119 052406 worker: wlan0 wait 0 for IP address
20210119 052409 worker: wlan0 wait 1 for IP address
20210119 052412 worker: wlan0 wait 2 for IP address
20210119 052415 worker: wlan0 unable to start AP mode
20210119 052415 worker: no active network interface

I don't understand this. What should have appeared is something like

Code:

worker: wlan0 AP mode started
worker: IP addr (172.24.1.1)
worker: Netmask (255.255.255.0)
worker: Gateway (0.0.0.0)
worker: Pri DNS (127.0.0.1)

I don't know the WiFi adapter you are using. Are you sure it can work in AP mode? Many can but some cannot. I don't have one I know doesn't so can't test how that would be reported in the log.
