I don't know. It's generally hard to have sources of entropy close to boot when nothing is going on, unless you plug in something like a chaoskey (in which case you would get rngd to do something with it) > What is the good practice/usage for source ? Do I have to find a way to > use the clock or anything else as entropy source ? Did you configure CONFIG_GETRANDOM for hostapd? It's not clear to me why hostapd uses getrandom() without the GRND_RANDOM flag, but then falls back to /dev/random rather than /dev/urandom? johannes _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
