Following code in wpa_supplicant is killing the accesspoint: if (iface->hostapd_ctrl) { char *cmd = "STOP_AP"; char buf[256]; int len = sizeof(buf); wpa_s->hostapd = wpa_ctrl_open(iface->hostapd_ctrl); if (!wpa_s->hostapd) { wpa_printf(MSG_ERROR, "\nFailed to connect to hostapd\n"); return -1; } if (hostapd_stop(wpa_s) < 0) return -1; } wpa_supplicant.c - wpa_supplicant_init_iface() is killing the AP. Why would I need a kernel change to get this code removed from hostapd? I don't see how the used kernel would change the behavior in wpa_supplicant _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
