I am trying to get hostapd with my Atheros Wlan USB Stick to run (zd1211rw) on Gentoo Linux to run and I am not getting further. Now I really don't know if it's the USB stick, the driver or the hostapd itself that makes me troubles. I am running Gentoo x64 bit with the kernel 3.3.8. If somebody knows the answer, I would kindly thank him/her. output of "sudo hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf": random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf ctrl_interface_group=0 nl80211: interface wlan1 in phy phy0 rfkill: initial event: idx=0 type=1 op=0 soft=0 hard=0 nl80211: Using driver-based off-channel TX nl80211: Add own interface ifindex 5 nl80211: Set mode ifindex 5 iftype 3 (AP) nl80211: Create interface iftype 6 (MONITOR) nl80211: New interface mon.wlan1 created: ifindex=9 nl80211: Add own interface ifindex 9 Could not set interface mon.wlan1 flags: No such file or directory nl80211: Remove interface ifindex=9 nl80211: Failed to set interface wlan1 into AP mode netlink: Operstate: linkmode=0, operstate=6 nl80211: Set mode ifindex 5 iftype 2 (STATION) nl80211 driver initialization failed. rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory my hostapd.conf: interface=wlan1 driver=nl80211 logger_syslog=-1 logger_syslog_level=2 logger_stdout=-1 logger_stdout_level=2 dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd ctrl_interface_group=0 ssid=Tux macaddr_acl=0 auth_algs=3 eap_server=0 eap_message=hello eapol_key_index_workaround=0 own_ip_addr=127.0.0.1 wpa=3 ieee8021x=0 wpa_passphrase=secretpassword wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=CCMP TKIP hw_mode=g channel=8 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
