Hi, This was my mistake. Found wrongly commented driver: #driver=wired Should be driver=wired Working config: # cat /etc/hostapd.conf | grep ^[^#] interface=eth0 driver=wired logger_syslog=-1 logger_syslog_level=2 logger_stdout=-1 logger_stdout_level=2 ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd ctrl_interface_group=0 ieee8021x=1 eapol_version=2 eapol_key_index_workaround=0 eap_reauth_period=3600 own_ip_addr=192.168.200.236 auth_server_addr=192.168.200.120 auth_server_port=1812 auth_server_shared_secret=*secret* Results in # hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf -dd random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random Configuration file: /etc/hostapd.conf ctrl_interface_group=0 eapol_version=2 Opening raw packet socket for ifindex 2 BSS count 1, BSSID mask 00:00:00:00:00:00 (0 bits) Using existing control interface directory. ctrl_iface bind(PF_UNIX) failed: Address already in use ctrl_iface exists, but does not allow connections - assuming it was leftover from forced program termination Successfully replaced leftover ctrl_iface socket '/var/run/hostapd/eth0' eth0: IEEE 802.11 Fetching hardware channel/rate support not supported.
