Hello Jouni, hello list, new to this list let me first give a big applause for you and all guys working on this piece of software and say Thank You! I use it since years as a part of the router based on PCEngines Alix board and the recommendable software from leaf.zetam.org - the Bering uClibc distro. The WIFI adapter I use is identified by the Kernel like [ 30.464825] ath5k 0000:00:0c.0: registered as 'phy0' [ 31.152647] random: crng init done [ 31.152661] random: 5 urandom warning(s) missed due to ratelimiting [ 31.211873] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x0 [ 31.211881] ath: EEPROM indicates default country code should be used [ 31.211886] ath: doing EEPROM country->regdmn map search [ 31.211899] ath: country maps to regdmn code: 0x3a [ 31.211906] ath: Country alpha2 being used: US [ 31.211913] ath: Regpair used: 0x3a [ 31.911826] ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel_ht' [ 31.913944] ath5k: phy0: Atheros AR2413 chip found (MAC: 0x78, PHY: 0x45) Issue is, that the hostapd starts, does not broadcast the SSID and loops in a way I cannot interpret. So I hope for help by somebody who understands the log: https://pastebin.com/54fESZrz My hosapd.conf looks like that: interface=wlan0 bssid=02:80:48:54:85:80 <- not my true MAC ! driver=nl80211 logger_syslog=-1 logger_syslog_level=2 logger_stdout=-1 logger_stdout_level=1 ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd ctrl_interface_group=0 ssid=<mySSID> hw_mode=g #channel=5 channel=acs_survey auth_algs=1 wpa=3 wpa_passphrase=<myPassphrase> wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP rsn_pairwise=CCMP ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 country_code=DE ieee80211d=1 What is wrong?
