If hostapd complains about them, would not it be reasonable to show us what it doesn't like? Maybe you are trying to use 802.11a? That's not supported in b43 yet. 802.11a is the default in the sample hostapd.conf. Maybe you forgot to change it? -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- 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
