I know that on kernels < 2.6.29 you need another patch to enable AP support, not just the one that enables AP support in ath5k. If you upgrade to 2.6.29 the old regulatory rules will be disabled by default. So unless you re-enable them (but I haven't tested with that) you'll have to install crda and the wireless regulatory database. In hostapd.conf you will have to change channel=0 to something else. That's how I got it working. > > -- > Christoph J. Thompson <cjsthompson@xxxxxxxxx> Thanks Christoph, looks like ubuntu is currently at 2.6.28 and I do not want to attempt installing non-ubuntu-patched kernel. Also, what is the driver option value in your hostapd config? Is it nl80211? And last question, do you know anything about that "another" patch for pre 2.6.29 kernels? -- 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
