Hi,
My ath9k refuses to go into AP mode.
I am using:
- a 5416 wireless card (WMP300Nv2)
- linuxkernel 2.7.27.6
- hostapd 0.6.5
- wireless-testing 11-11-2008
When I try to set the ath9k in AP with hostapd I get:
xxx:/home/xxx# hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
ctrl_interface_group=0

Or am I something missing to get it work. A previous version did set the
ath9k ok as AP, however it hanged the kernel after some time.
TIA,
Willem
