I just add rng tools in my buildroot defconfig. No more success after testing it. But it was due to the default argument used by rngd deamon. With default argument, rngd is not able to find en entropy source : # rngd -f read error read error read error (...) read error read error No entropy sources working, exiting rngd By using "-r /dev/urandom" now everything is working perfectly. And now wpa_supplicant is starting very quickly. # time /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /data/conf/wpa_supplicant.conf Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready rfkill: Cannot get wiphy information real 0m 0.62s user 0m 0.20s sys 0m 0.07s Thank you again ! _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
