* ERROR: hostapd needs service(s) net.wlan0 |
but I use wlp3s0 in fact... 
| Code: |
% cat /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
ssid=test
wpa_passphrase=234567890
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
interface=wlp3s0
auth_algs=3
channel=11
driver=nl80211
hw_mode=g
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=2
max_num_sta=5
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
wpa=2
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP
|

| Code: | cat /etc/conf.d/hostapd
# Space separated List of interfaces which needs to be started before
# hostapd
INTERFACES="lan0" |
if you want to bridge your wifi to other devices to create wired/virtual lan with wifi (or simply to allow starting dhcpd and wifi independently) write bridge's name there.
If you don't, empty the value.
In /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf you can provide bridge name, so hostapd will bind to alreardy configured bridge. Again, this is optional. You can ignore that feature if you're happy without it. |

me too don't have wlan0, my wireless interface name is wlo1 so i've set interface=wlo1 in hostapd.conf. hostapd service on start says
| Code: |
Service `hostapd' needs non existent service `net.wlan0'
|
I've also tried replacing every wlo1 with wlan0 in hostapd.conf, conf.d/net and init.d/net.wlan0 in vein. |
