Good day all !
Looking for some guidance.
I've got a requirement to turn an Intel NUC PC N5105 with Intel 9462 WiFi card into a wireless access point with like NAS capabilities.
We need multiple people connecting to the device so that they can all access data storage on it's NVMe SSD at the same time, wirelessly.
Tried with Windows and after having a script and task scheduler firing up various PowerShells that enabled the Mobile Hotspot, it failed as there was no internet connection to share. That's why I'm giving OpenWRT a try.
So I've installed this latest image (https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.3/targets/x86/64/openwrt-22.03.3-x86-64-generic-squashfs-combined-efi.img.gz) on the hard drive using Finnix, as described in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOLn2H1FZEI).
It boots to OpenWRT, I can browse the GUI via the boxes IP address, Ethernet adapter works as well as other devices, however, what's driving me nuts is that the WiFi features are NOT there.
In the kernel log, here's the message that displays in regards to the WiFi card trying to fire up during bootup of OpenWRT: check git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/ linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
This folder doesn't exist on my build... Not sure why ? https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/basic
Attached is also a screenshot of the GUI from OpenWRT - no WiFi under devices.
Tried installing firmware and software from the GUI for the Intel 9000 WiFi cards but that didn't really do anything....
Any ideas ?
Appreciate your help !!
