Thompson <cjsthompson@xxxxxxxxx> Thanks. This link is broken however simple search brings me here: http://wireless.erley.org/ where the author says that Atheros AR5213A does not work: "Lets me set master mode, and activate hostapd, but not found on other machines while scanning". Well what I tried is I left the kernel on 2.6.27-13, compiled latest compat-wireless, upgraded to hostapd 0.6.8 and I got hostapd starting successfully. I configured it for open system and got my Windows Mobile 5 PDA connecting to it successfully and even interenet was working! WM6 Smartphone connects from 2nd or 3rd attempt but has no access to internet for some reason. With WPA2-PSK WM6 connects but still no internet and WM5 does not connect even though the config is pretty standard: wpa=3 wpa_passphrase=abcdefgh wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP Does this resemble your wpa configuration? Do you know, if I got this far, can unstable connection and not working WPA be related to older kernel? What clients did you try? I can't understand why internet access works on WM5 but not on WM6. Both devices worked great with hardware wireless router. -- 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
