Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the help. I tried the same and following was the result:

As per the result there is an SETMLME error along with "Could not connect to kernel driver." and "l2_packet_receive - recvfrom: Network is down". Could you advice me on these, Am i missing some setting within .conf or .config files? Also the DMESG command shows "wlan_xauth: no version magic, tainting kernel." and similarly for all modules and object files I have added into the module.

Should I remove the OBJ and modules from kernel? Below is just a sample of what all I have added into the kernel as part of the wlan module

wlan                  198724  20 sta_info.o,md5.o,crtl_iface.o,eap.o,ieee802_1x.o,ieee802_11.o,preauth.o,radius_client.o,radius_server.o,radius.o,wlan_scan_ap,wlan_xauth,wlan_acl,wlan_wep,wlan_ccmp,wlan_tkip,wlan_scan_sta,ath_rate_sample,ath_pci


Thanks
PPN

Have you tried changing the mode to AP via wlanconfig
in madwifi-ng before running hostapd?  Madwifi-ng
currently does not support changing mode through
ioctl[SIOCSIWMODE] so you probably need to do
something like this if your radio starts out in
managed mode:

# wlanconfig ath0 destroy
# wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap.

then start hostapd. 

hopes this helps,
dennis
