 |
|
I am trying to set up my Gentoo server as a wireless access point. When I try to start hostapd I get an error message saying it wants net.wlan0 which doesn't exist. My card is atheros based and I am using the madwifi driver. The interface I want it to use is net.ath0
Here is my hostapd.conf
| Code: |
interface=ath0
bridge=br0
driver=madwifi
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=2
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=1
debug=0
dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=0
ssid="MyNetwork"
macaddr_acl=0
accept_mac_file=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.accept
deny_mac_file=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.deny
auth_algs=1
wpa=1
wpa_passphrase="mypassphrase"
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP

Anyone know what to do?

Turns out I forgot to add ath0 to /etc/conf.d/hostapd
