Hi There,
I have wifi working in managed mode, so I can connect to existing access points w/o problems. Now I'm looking to turn the board into an access point, but have not had any luck so far. The driver used is the one from AR6kSDK.build_3.1_RC.563 (ar6000.ko). When I start up hostapd 1.1 the following happens
root@freescale /tmp$ hostapd hostapd.cfg -d
random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random
Configuration file: hostapd.cfg
Add Filter 0 = 01:00:5e:00:00:01
Could not open file /sys/class/net/wlan0/phy80211/name: No such file or directory
netlink: Operstate: linkmode=0, operstate=6

nl80211: Interface mode change to 2 from 0 failed

My hostapd config file looks like -
root@freescale /tmp$ cat hostapd.cfg
interface=wlan0
ctrl_interface=wlan0
ssid=default
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
max_num_sta=8
beacon_int=100

wpa=2
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=CCMP
wpa_passphrase=123456789
channel=11
preamble=0
wpa_group_rekey=3600
iwconfig reports -
root@freescale /tmp$ iwconfig

I am using the L3.0.35_4.1.0 Linux BSP. Any ideas on what could be going on ?
Thanks,
