<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br><br>I'm having some troubles using hostapd with a brand new Atheros AR5416-based PCI wireless card.<br><br>When I run hostapd (built from git) I get the following output:<br><br>Configuration file: /etc/hostapd.conf<br>
Failed to create interface mon.ath1.<br>nl80211 driver initialization failed.<br>rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory<br><br>I've tracked it down to this call failing in nl80211_create_iface:<br><br>nl_wait_for_ack(drv->nl_handle)<br>
<br>The libnl version on my system is 1.1 (latest from Fedora Core 9: libnl-1.1-3.fc9.i386)<br><br>My kernel is from wireless-testing git (couple days old), patched with the ath9k access point patches from Jouni (and Sujith), and with the allow-ap-vlan-modes patch from Johannes.<br>
<br>Any help would be appreciated.<br><br>-- Gord<br><br></div>
