Hello!<br><br>I am trying to build an access point with an Atheros AR9285 Card. The<br>lspci-id is 168c:002b (rev 01).<br><br>I am using an Ubuntu Distribution with the shipped kernel<br>2.6.31-16-generic-pae and hostapd 0.6.9.<br>
<br>I configured the hostapd to use the nl80211 driver. When I start<br>hostapd on the wlan0 interface with "hostapd -d hostapd.conf" i get:<br><br>------<br>Configuration file: hostapd.conf<br>ctrl_interface_group=0<br>
Opening raw packet socket for ifindex -1215651852<br>BSS count 1, BSSID mask ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff (0 bits)<br>SIOCGIWRANGE: WE(compiled)=22 WE(source)=21 enc_capa=0xf<br>nl80211: Added 802.11b mode based on 802.11g information<br>
Hardware does not support configured mode<br>wlan0: IEEE 802.11 Hardware does not support configured mode (2)<br>Could not select hw_mode and channel. (-1)<br>wlan0: Unable to setup interface.<br>------<br><br>I also tried the latest hostapd 0.7 with the same result.<br>
<br>A bit strange after running hostapd: iwconfig gives me:<br><br>------<br>wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn Mode:Master Frequency:2.427 GHz Tx-Power=20 dBm<br> Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off<br>
Encryption key:off<br> Power Management:off<br> Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0<br> Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0<br> Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0<br>
------<br><br>This means that the wireless device is runnung in Master Mode but not<br>with hostapd, right??!<br><br>By the way - wpa_supplicant is running very well with wpa2 on the device.<br><br>Any ideas how I get hostapd running? Thank you very much for your help!<br>
