I'm trying to run hostapd on Opensuse 15.1, which comes with hostapd version
2.6. After starting hostapd, I'm unable to see the SSID on other systems.
The problem occurs with the rpm distributed as part of the distribution,
compiled version 2.6, and compiled version 2.9. For the versions I compiled,
I used the standard hostapd.conf file include with the tar file using an SSID
of "test". The problem occurs with kernel version 4.12 and 5.2. I tried
using dd-wrt and was able to see a broadcast ssid, so the problem doesn't
appear to be hardware. The NIC is reported as Qualcomm Atheros AR928X
Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) and is using the ath9k driver
bundled with the kernel. "iwconfig wlan0" reports:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11 Mode:Master Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
I would be grateful for any ideas on how to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Mark Gannon
