Hi Marco: Try to assign an actual channel (e.g. 1) instead of using ACS, and then use Wireshark to see if the beacon is being advertised on that channel. Also, is there any reason why you set wpa=1? WPAv1 is deprecated and should no longer be used. For compatibility, set wpa=3, which is bit 0 (WPAv1) and bit 1 (WPAv2) enabled to support both WPAv1 and WPAv2. Also suggest removing CCMP from wpa_pairwise, as WPAv1 with CCMP is not officially a valid combination. Best regards, Dennis Mandi!

No eeror at all. Even systemd say that hostapd is up and running, while it is simply 'dead'. I've not 'straced' it, indeed... _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
