Hello,
I was trying to use my intel wireless device as an AP. I used hostapd (1.1).
It seem to be that i couldn't able to get it working.
My hostapd config:
interface=wlp3s0
driver=nl80211
country_code=US
ieee80211d=1
ssid=testhostapd
channel=1
hw_mode=g
auth_algs=1
wpa=3
wpa_passphrase=mypassword
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
I have got the following output when i run hostapd -ddd hostapd.conf

Seems that the setting of channel is failing
and i tried with iwconfig wlp3s0 channel 6. It says
Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
SET failed on device wlp3s0 ; Device or resource busy.
What could be the possible mistake?
in case:

Are you using hostapd v2.0? If so, there seems to be a bug that breaks *ALL*
nl80211 configurations. I reported it, but so far there is no response.
Switching back to v1.1 of hostapd worked for me.
