Hostapd gives error with Madwifi.conf file

[maloomnahi at indiatimes.com]

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the information. I have tried installing the bridge, but the error now shows as follows: (It has created the br0 port now)

[root at localhost hostapd-0.5.8]# hostapd -ddd hostapd.conf
Configuration file: hostapd.conf
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
Configure bridge br0 for EAPOL traffic.
ioctl[SIOCSIWMODE]: Operation not supported
Could not set interface to master mode!
madwifi driver initialization failed.
eth0: Unable to setup interface.
Flushing old station entries
Deauthenticate all stations
rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory

Can anyone tell me is it the .config problem or AR5212 PCI card interface problem?

Thanks
PPN

Install the bridge utilities then. On Ubuntu, this is done thusly:

apt-get install bridge-utils


Cheers, Jan
