Hello, I am trying to setup a wireless hotspot with my xs36v barbone. Unfortunately when I start hostapd, I have got the following error: hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf nl80211: Add own interface ifindex 3 nl80211: Add own interface ifindex 4 nl80211: New interface mon.wlan0 created: ifindex=8 nl80211: Add own interface ifindex 8 Could not set interface mon.wlan0 flags: Operation not possible due to RF-kill nl80211: Remove interface ifindex=8 nl80211: Failed to set interface wlan0 into AP mode nl80211 driver initialization failed. ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=4 eloop_data=0x842e900 user_data=0x842eeb0 handler=0x807c5e0 ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=6 eloop_data=0x8430cb8 user_data=(nil) handler=0x8086770 I tried with different drivers like mac80211. I did install the drivers from Realtek website (rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0005.1230.2011) and the latest linux-firmware_1.84_all.deb But I can't make it work for any reason. Any help would be welcome. Do I need to move to a newest kernel to make it work? Thanks XabiX lspci 02:00.5 Ethernet controller: JMicron Technology Corp.
