Hi, does hostapd support AP mode for TP-Link TL-WN722N V2 (Realtek RTL8188EU, USB ID 2357:010c)? When using rtl8188eu kernel module from staging [1] with CONFIG_88EU_AP_MODE=y, AP mode does not work for neither nl80211 nor hostap driver. Is it just configuration issue or it's just not supported? # hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf nl80211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect commands nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0 nl80211: Remove monitor interface: refcount=0 netlink: Operstate: ifindex=4 linkmode=0 (kernel-control), operstate=6 (IF_OPER_UP) nl80211: Set mode ifindex 4 iftype 2 (STATION) nl80211: Failed to set interface 4 to mode 2: -19 (No such device) nl80211 driver initialization failed. hostapd_interface_deinit_free(0x76c0d4f0) hostapd_interface_deinit_free: num_bss=1 conf->num_bss=1 hostapd_interface_deinit(0x76c0d4f0) wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED hostapd_bss_deinit: deinit bss wlan0 wlan0: AP-DISABLED hostapd_cleanup(hapd=0x76f187c0 (wlan0)) wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started hostapd_interface_deinit_free: driver=0 drv_priv=0 -> hapd_deinit hostapd_interface_free(0x76c0d4f0) hostapd_interface_free: free hapd 0x76f187c0 hostapd_cleanup_iface(0x76c0d4f0) hostapd_cleanup_iface_partial(0x76c0d4f0) hostapd_cleanup_iface: free iface=0x76c0d4f0 $ cat /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf interface=wlan0 driver=nl80211 ssid=foo channel=6 hw_mode=g macaddr_acl=0 auth_algs=1 ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 wpa=2 wpa_passphrase=12345678 wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP rsn_pairwise=CCMP There are number of out-of-tree kernel modules: 8188eu, the very old official one from TP-Link [2] for v4.3 (2015). There are other forks of this official [2], [3]. [2] mentions Monitor Mode, which suggests there could be AP mode working. All of these projects contains wpa_0_8.conf [5]. This file is not referenced in sources, scripts (see below) and suggest very old HostAP release. Thanks for any info, hints.
