[ubuntu] hostapd problem

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – 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 driver=madwifi logger_syslog=0 logger_syslog_level=0 logger_stdout=0 logger_stdout_level=0 dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump.0.0 ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd1 ssid="Atheros Wireless Network" h (HowTos)

Hostapd interface mode AP 14 weeks 6 days ago

Hello,I want to turn my computer here into a wireless hotspot. Herefore i'm doing a tutorial described here.The problem i have is when i want to run the hostapd-min.conf i receive these errors:Configuration file: /etc/hostapd-minimal.conf nl80211: Failed to set interface wlan1 into AP mode nl80211 driver initialization failed.So the problem is lies with the interface.

And yes this is not for the MacBook. I am using on dm6446 processor with custom hardware. I could get the AP to work previously with hostapd when i used driver=rtl871xdrvbut then I compiled with the netlink driver (for some reasons)driver=nl80211and now I get two interfaces instead of one (as was with the previous case) wlan1 and mon.wlan1 but no ssid is associated to any of these.

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?
