Hi, I had recompiled the kernel and tried to run hostapd again and now it is working. Still using the same settings. It seems that the problem has been solved with the latest git pull. That was the problem before (e.g. running the vlan example hostapd.conf within hostap/mac80211_hwsim/tests/0002-vlan) /opt/wifi/bin/hostapd hostapd.conf Configuration file: hostapd.conf nl80211: Failed to set interface wlan0 into AP mode nl80211 driver initialization failed.
