I wanted to test the new "AP mode" functionality in the mwifiex driver so I built a kernel off the wireless-testing tree and hostapd v2.0-devel from git. I tried this on a "DreamPlug" that uses the SD8787. "Client mode" is working fine, but I can't seem to be able to get "AP mode" working. No matter what I do I get this output from hostapd: random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random Configuration file: hostapd-minimal.conf nl80211: interface uap0 in phy phy0 rfkill: initial event: idx=0 type=2 op=0 soft=0 hard=0 rfkill: initial event: idx=1 type=1 op=0 soft=0 hard=0 nl80211: Disable use_monitor with device_ap_sme since no monitor mode support d etected nl80211: Add own interface ifindex 5 nl80211: Set mode ifindex 5 iftype 3 (AP) nl80211: Setup AP - device_ap_sme=1 use_monitor=0 nl80211: Subscribe to mgmt frames with AP handle 0x74608 (device SME) nl80211: Register frame type=0xd0 nl_handle=0x74608 nl80211: Register frame match - hexdump(len=0): [NULL] nl80211: Register frame command failed (type=208): ret=-95 (Operation not suppo rted) nl80211: Register frame match - hexdump(len=0): [NULL] nl80211: Failed to set interface uap0 into AP mode netlink: Operstate: linkmode=0, operstate=6 nl80211: Set mode ifindex 5 iftype 2 (STATION) nl80211: Failed to set interface 5 to mode 2: -16 (Device or resource busy) nl80211: Try mode change after setting interface down nl80211: Set mode ifindex 5 iftype 2 (STATION) nl80211: Failed to set interface 5 to mode 2: -16 (Device or resource busy) nl80211: Set mode ifindex 5 iftype 2 (STATION) nl80211: Failed to set interface 5 to mode 2: -16 (Device or resource busy) [ ... ] nl80211: Interface mode change to 2 from 3 failed nl80211 driver initialization failed. I've tried bringing both mlan0 and uap0 interfaces down/up and different combinations of both to no avail. The patches for "AP mode" support mention that is has been tested against hostapd v2.0-devel. Is there anything I should be aware of when building hostapd? I'm also not sure if I'm running the correct firmware for the SD8787. Thanks in advance for any input!!! Hans --- mwifiex_sdio firmware --- mwifiex_sdio mmc0:0001:1: WLAN FW already running!
