If you need to select a specific interface for a standalone command execution, the -i<ifname> command line parameter can be used instead. > #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? That looks like a valid command. The main reason for getting FAIL out of it is if the /etc/hostapd.deny file is malformed. hostapd debug output should provide a reason for why the command failed. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
