Issues running on RPI3 Kali 2019.1

[jgaret]

Hello, I've successfully flashed a Maxcio YX-DE02-F wall plug (https://www.amazon.fr/Maxcio-Connect%C3%A9e-Intelligente-Compatible-Contr%C3%B4le/dp/B07GWN7BVH?th=1), but I needed some little changes to make it work (mainly some kind of problems due to setting up AP).
I would like to share what i had to do to make it work, if that helps anyone.

First, kali 2019.1 comes with some kind of "new-generation" iptables that just simply don't work with rpi3 kernel, so you needed to switch to legacy mode with update-alternatives
root@kali:~/tuya-convert# update-alternatives --config iptables

Secondly, there is also some kind of changes to allow the AP mode on RPI3. I needed to activate a monitor interface before running the start_flash.sh script
iw phy phy0 interface add mon0 type monitor && ifconfig mon0 up

Thanks for the feedback.

Would you be able to test out the create-ap branch and see if that works without modification?

git clone -b create-ap https://github.com/kueblc/tuya-convert.git

I think you forgot to commit a script. I get this in the logs:

==> scripts/smarthack-wifi.log <==
sudo: create_ap : command not found

You need to run install_prereq again to pick up the new dependency

After installing prereqs, I still have an issue with iptables-nft (needs to switch to iptables-legacy).
And hostapd does not allow my smartphone connecting with this error:
wlan0: STA c0:c9:76:65:5a:aa IEEE 802.11: Could not add STA to kernel driver

The complete startup log is:

WARN: brmfmac driver doesn't work properly with virtual interfaces and
it can cause kernel panic. For this reason we disallow virtual
interfaces for your adapter.
For more info: oblique/create_ap#203

Log is the same if monitor interface is enabled

Thanks again for the feedback!

May be resolved by #225, if anyone can confirm we'll get this merged
