Describe the issue

I've followed the wiki instructions to setup a Raspberry 3 B+
The minim-config and the wiki is not very clear about:

  • What should be set as 'LAN' network interface name
  • What should be set as 'WAN' network interface name
  • What is the phy device name

My setup is:

Raspberry Pi 3 B+
ETH -> to home network with DHCP and internet connection
WiFi -> available to be used by home devices to connect to home network and internet

I've used following settings:

  • LAN network interface name -> wlan0 (is the interface name for wireless adapter retrieved with ip -a address)
  • Configure wireless interface? -> yes
  • wireless network interface -> wlan0
  • phy device name -> phy0
  • WAN network interface -> enxb827ebcb3515 (is the interface name for eth adapter retrieved with ip -a address)
  • MAC address for LAN interface -> the MAC address of the wlan0 interface retrived by ip -a address and as setup in the Lab Provisioning register.
  • wireless SSID -> Minim
  • wireless passphrase -> a_strong_password

Expected behavior

The Raspberry appears online on Lab portal
If a smartphone is connected to the wireless network Minim it will be recorded into Lab portal and proper internet connectivity will be available to it

Actual behavior

The Raspberry appears online on Lab portal
The smartphone is connected to the wireless network Minim and is recorded into Lab portal

NO proper internet connectivity will be available to the smartphone.
It seems that the smartphone IP is not properly setup by wifi network (169.254.151.91/16)

Is there something wrong on values provided setting up with minim-config?

Thanks

It sounds like your configuration is correct, but dnsmasq did not start. Check that dnsmasq is running with service dnsmasq status (or sudo service dnsmasq status, as necessary) and what might have caused the failure in the dnsmasq log file /var/opt/unum/dnsmasq.log. It's a little inelegant, but some users have reported that after rebooting the Pi, it works normally.

Also, I'll update #6 to specifically improve explanations around what those options in minim-config should be set to. Thanks for bringing that up!
