HI all, I have AR6004 USB dongle connected to Linux kernel 3.10, and am testing latest hostapd. I noticed that I was able to put the dongle in the AP mode only for not-n mode (a or g). Enabling both of these options: hw_mode=g ieee80211n=1 gives an error like this on starting: random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random Configuration file: /home/drasko/hostapd.conf HT (IEEE 802.11n) with WPA/WPA2 requires CCMP/GCMP to be enabled, disabling HT capabilities rfkill: initial event: idx=0 type=1 op=0 soft=0 hard=0 rfkill: initial event: idx=1 type=1 op=0 soft=0 hard=0 rfkill: initial event: idx=2 type=2 op=0 soft=0 hard=0 rfkill: initial event: idx=5 type=1 op=0 soft=0 hard=0 nl80211: Using driver-based roaming nl80211: Supports Probe Response offload in AP mode nl80211: Disable use_monitor with device_ap_sme since no monitor mode support detected nl80211: interface wlan3 in phy phy3 nl80211: Add own interface ifindex 6 nl80211: Set mode ifindex 6 iftype 3 (AP) nl80211: Setup AP - device_ap_sme=1 use_monitor=0 nl80211: Subscribe to mgmt frames with AP handle 0x1441480 (device SME) nl80211: Register frame type=0xd0 nl_handle=0x1441480 nl80211: Register frame match - hexdump(len=0): [NULL] nl80211: Enable Probe Request reporting nl_preq=0x14414c0 nl80211: Register frame type=0x40 nl_handle=0x14414c0 nl80211: Register frame match - hexdump(len=0): [NULL] BSS count 1, BSSID mask 00:00:00:00:00:00 (0 bits) nl80211: Regulatory information - country=FR nl80211: 2402-2482 @ 40 MHz nl80211: 2402-2482 @ 20 mBm nl80211: 5170-5250 @ 40 MHz nl80211: 5170-5250 @ 20 mBm nl80211: 5250-5330 @ 40 MHz nl80211: 5250-5330 @ 20 mBm nl80211: 5490-5710 @ 40 MHz nl80211: 5490-5710 @ 27 mBm nl80211: 57240-65880 @ 2160 MHz nl80211: 57240-65880 @ 40 mBm nl80211: Added 802.11b mode based on 802.11g information Completing interface initialization Mode: IEEE 802.11g Channel: 7 Frequency: 2442 MHz DFS 0 channels required radar detection nl80211: Set freq 2442 (ht_enabled=1, vht_enabled=0, bandwidth=20 MHz, cf1=2442 MHz, cf2=0 MHz) nl80211: Failed to set channel (freq=2442): -22 (Invalid argument) Could not set channel for kernel driver wlan3: Unable to setup interface. wlan3: Flushing old station entries nl80211: flush -> DEL_STATION wlan3 (all) wlan3: Deauthenticate all stations nl80211: sta_remove -> DEL_STATION wlan3 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff --> 0 (Success) wpa_driver_nl80211_set_key: ifindex=6 (wlan3) alg=0 addr=(nil) key_idx=0 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0 wpa_driver_nl80211_set_key: ifindex=6 (wlan3) alg=0 addr=(nil) key_idx=1 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0 wpa_driver_nl80211_set_key: ifindex=6 (wlan3) alg=0 addr=(nil) key_idx=2 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0 wpa_driver_nl80211_set_key: ifindex=6 (wlan3) alg=0 addr=(nil) key_idx=3 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0 nl80211: Skip disabling of Probe Request reporting nl_preq=0x8888888889cc9c49 while in AP mode netlink: Operstate: linkmode=0, operstate=6 nl80211: Set mode ifindex 6 iftype 2 (STATION) nl80211: Disable Probe Request reporting nl_preq=0x8888888889cc9c49 nl80211: Unsubscribe mgmt frames handle 0x8888888889cc9c09 (AP teardown (dev SME)) Failed to initialize interface I have tried several channels - all were rejected with the same message. Any idea where these error messages come from?
