Hi Baruch, Thanks for your answer. We tried the suggestion of Jouni Malinen with hostapd_cli but we are receive a FAIL message. We wrote ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd to hostapd.conf and then we follow this process: #sudo hostapd_cli interface our_iface #sudo hostapd_cli > SET deny_mac_file /etc/hostapd.deny FAIL What's the correct way to send a "SET deny_mac_file /etc/hostapd.deny" to /var/run/hostapd? Where can we find a list of all the correct commands for GET and SET methods?
