Setting up access to FTP server and SSH server using hostapd access point on embedded system

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I've recently designed the circuit board for an embedded ARM system, and the next step is to work on the software to run on this hardware. I've generated the root file system using Buildroot. I am using the Linux 3.0.4 kernel compiled using a cross-compiler. Attached to one of the USB host ports on this system is a Atheros AR9271 WiFi chip capable of being placed into AP (access point) mode. I've compiled the ath9k_hw kernel module (http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_hw), and I've been successful with using hostapd (http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostapd/) to create an access point.

[ubuntu] hostapd problem 2 years 24 weeks ago

hello

I have a problem with my DWA-556 when using it as an access point with madwifi and hostapd.

The access point appears normally to users when starting hostapd, but when more than one user connects to it, it disappears.

Another problem is that when i stop hostapd to change the channel, the network doesn't appear to users after restarting hostapd.

This is my hostapd.conf file: interface=ath0

I have been trying to get my Ubuntu 11.10 laptop to make an access point to connect my blackberry playbook . hostapd gave error

Configuration file: ./hostapd-minimal.conf nl80211: 'nl80211' generic netlink not found nl80211 driver initialization failed.

Is this a BCM4312 problem?

Hi folks,

I am having some trouble getting my wireless access point server up and running. I have hostapd and the DHCP server working such that a device can connect to the network and is assigned an IP on 192.168.5.*. All network traffic works on this subnet.

The server is connected to the Internet via the secured ethernet at my university.

Hi, sorry for posting twice but I understand that tutorials are not meat to add posts to any more (?). So, I repeat the post I appended at the end of the thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1663788&page=2. I hope that this is not against the rules:

I followed the tutorial above step by step for turning an eeePC 1005HA running UBUNTU 10.04 into a wireless access point.

Hi everyone,
