 |
|
There was an update to hostapd today...since then I can't get it to work. Getting this:
| Code: | * Starting hostapd ...
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
nl80211: Could not configure driver mode
nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED
wlan0: AP-DISABLED
hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/hostapd'
* Failed to start hostapd
* ERROR: hostapd failed to start |
This is my hostapd.conf (nothing has changed). I've been through it and don't see any problems and it worked before.

Hi,
Which version of hostapd do you use? Do you have net.wlan0 started?
I had issues with hostapd as long as i haven't set the following for net.wlan0 in my /etc/conf/net
| Code: |
preup() {
rfkill unblock all
}
|
Maybe this helps you a bit.

| I completely shut down my bridge (net.br0) and then brought everything back up and it worked. I guess something was holding the interface in such a way that hostapd couldn't set things properly. I was originally just trying /etc/init.d/hostapd restart without doing anything else. I think I'm going to add the rfkill command to preup anyway though because I did have a block error at some point during my messing with it. |

I'm having the same problem, but I'm not using any bridges. Basically, I updated from "hostapd-2.0-r1" to "hostapd-2.4-r2", and this is what I'm getting.
| Code: | # /etc/init.d/hostapd start
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]

* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/hostapd'

And I made sure nothing was blocked.
| Code: | # rfkill list

Here is the output in the verbose mode.

I'm not sure how to proceed from here. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

My problem is gone now. First, I pulled out the USB WiFi device that I was using with hostapd and inserted it again, not particularly I knew what I was doing but just to make sure I didn't miss anything obvious. That didn't solve the problem, but it now gave me a different error message.
| Code: | | VLAN: vlan_set_name_type: SET_VLAN_NAME_TYPE_CMD name_type=2 failed: Package not installed |
Quick research revealed that I needed CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q in the kernel, so I enabled the following. Not sure I really needed CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_GVRP and CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_MVRP, but well, I just enabled them while I was there.
| Code: | Networking support
Networking options
802.1Q/802.1ad VLAN Support (CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q)
GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) support (CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_GVRP)
MVRP (Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol) support (CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_MVRP)
|
I rebooted the system, and the newer version of hostapd worked just as well as the old one.
