Sorry, first mail was html only format. Now in plain text:
 

Hello,
I am using the current snapshot from the prism54 drivers (not the kernel
one).
Running hostapd without WPA works without problems.

The Problem:
hostapd with WPA (wpa=1) exits with an errormessage.

The command:
$ hostapd hostapd.conf
Configuration file: hostapd.conf
Using interface eth2 with hwaddr 00:01:36:0d:c2:ea and ssid 'test'
Could not set PrivacyInvoked for interface eth2
WPA initialization failed.
rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory
Could not disable PrivacyInvoked for interface eth2
$ dmesg|tail -n 3
ap_net_ioctl: Ioctls for AP devices are NOT supported in this driver.
ap_net_ioctl: Ioctls for AP devices are NOT supported in this driver.

Are there any activities for hostapd with wpa for prism54 cards?
Is there any chance to get this running or should kick away the prism54
card and buy an atheros card?
