Hello,
I'm not able to see the SSID configured on my x86 PC using hostapd-0.7.3 with a
DWA-525 (Dlink N-150) wifi adapter.
This card has a Ralink's 3060 chipset that is using rt2800pci drivers.
Although hostapd is able to configure the card in AP mode but its SSID is not
visible to other STAs to connect.
I'm using FC15 shipped kernel 2.6.28.6-26.rc1.fc15.i686
Has someone got this configuration working? Any pointers to the solution are
welcome.
Best regards,
Manish
