Tethering issue (Eth to WiFi)

[piffrob]

Hi,
I am having issue with the setup of tethering on my Rasp Pi, running the latest version of OSMC.

When I try to activate the tethering from the GUI I have the following message “Error enabling hotspot - see log for details”.

Looking at the log, here an extract from when I connect the wifi dungle and I try to activate the tethering

I am not very expert, maybe a compatibility issue?

Your log snippet shows nothing to do with tethering. This is why you should always provide a complete log.

Ok. sorry. May I ask you how I can easily copy all the log and post in here?

Thanks.

the full log (I hope ) after one reboot, including when I try to enable tethering from the GUI.

If I’m not wrong the only line I get when I try to enable the tethering from the GUI is

Jan 12 00:15:00 RaspSala kernel: bridge: automatic filtering via arp/ip/ip6tables has been deprecated. Update your scripts to load br_netfilter if you need this.

So maybe the issue in on the dungle installation / Driver compatibility

[piffrob]

I had to re-install OSMC for other reasons. Anyway, even after a fresh install, I’m still facing issue activating the tethering.

the complete new Journal.

As far I understand the following lines (and relevant errors) occur when loading the wifi dongle

[moving my comment to a new post, since it might be ATV specific, also might not be, but…]

Tethering not possible?

[Reposted from previous comment made on a RP thread…] New user, installed Latest (2017-01.1 USB for Apple TV), and got things all working, and decided I wanted to enable wifi->ethernet bridging (so my wifi would be shared onto the ethernet, allowing me to plug things into the ethernet… discovered that br_netfilter module doesn’t exist, and that seems to be the major problem causing all of the rest: connman complains “Error enabling ethernet tethering: Not supported” which the log says “osmc …

Based on my researching this for the ATV, and my building a kernel with br_netfilter available, I suspect this can be fixed the same way.
