I actually figured that out as well: In the messages file I saw these errors: May 6 13:12:57 tomh kernel: [ 1106.442233] compat: exports duplicate symbol vzalloc (owned by kernel) I removed the definition of vzalloc (which is maybe defined by fedora in some backported patch in their kernel?) and I can now load the modules and even try to connect, but I keep getting this sequence: May 6 13:40:11 tomh hostapd: wlan0: STA 60:a1:0a:c7:af:01 IEEE 802.11: authenticated May 6 13:40:11 tomh hostapd: wlan0: STA 60:a1:0a:c7:af:01 IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1) May 6 13:40:14 tomh hostapd: wlan0: STA 60:a1:0a:c7:af:01 IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to local deauth request So I haven't gotten far enough to worry about DHCP or NAT or anything yet - I only stay connected for a second. Perhaps I should first try something less complicated than WPA2 authentication, but I won't get a chance to fool with this more till tomorrow probably. It's looking a lot better now that it did earlier though. Also, when running hostapd -dd, I get an endless stream of these messages: Unknown Broadcom information element ignored (type=52 len=26) don't know if that actually matters to anyone. -- 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
