Hi, I am trying to make a linux PC up and running with hostapd to create a simple Access Point. I do not want authentication, encryption and DHCP -- have configured station with static IP address. if I start hostapd (not as a daemon) with the default hostapd.conf file, and try connecting the client (fedora client), i see that the wifi sybol does not appear, but the connection seems to have been established. However, if i open hostapd_cli, i keep getting a print like, <client mac> CONNECTED <client mac> DISCONNECTED. Hence, i think the client keeps getting connected and disconnected. I then tried using a smaller config file with nothing regarding beacon interval etc...as shown below: --- interface=wlan0 driver=nl80211 ssid=test hw_mode=g channel=1 macaddr_acl=0 auth_algs=1 ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 --- The results were similar. Could anyone, guide me or provide me a simple hostapd.conf file, that will help me connect clients. I do not want authentication, encryption, and DHCP -- will use static IP. Thanks in advance. -shankar -- 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
