Hello,<br><b><br></b>I have ar928x wireless card with ath9k on working on fedora 14 <br><br>my system information:<br>1.) Linux fedora 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Mon Feb 7 07:04:18 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux<br>2.) Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) <br clear="all">
<br>I had installed hostapd from the repository and it was working fine.
But i wanted to include the HT 40 so i added the following line to my
hostapd.conf:<br><br>ht_capab=[HT40-][SHORT-GI-40][<div id=":1a7">DSSS_CCK-40]<br><br>my complete /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf is:<br>
<br>#ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd<br>ctrl_interface_group=wheel<br>macaddr_acl=0<br>auth_algs=1<br>ignore_broadcast_ssid=0<br>wpa=2<br>wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK<br>wpa_pairwise=TKIP<br>rsn_pairwise=CCMP<br>wpa_psk_file=/etc/hostapd/wpa_psk<br>
driver=nl80211<br>interface=wlan0<br>bridge=eth0<br>hw_mode=g<br>ieee80211n=1<br>channel=11<br>ssid=STest<br>wmm_enabled=1<br>ht_capab=[HT40-][SHORT-GI-40][DSSS_CCK-40]<br><br>Now, when I start hostapd; I get the following error:<br>
<br>Starting hostapd: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.confCould not set channel for kernel driver<br><br>[root@fedora ~]# hostapd -v<br>hostapd v0.6.10<br>User space daemon for IEEE 802.11 AP management,<br>IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP/RADIUS Authenticator<br>

<br>[root@fedora hostapd]# ./hostapd ./hostapd.conf<br>Configuration file: ./hostapd.conf<br>Line 373: unknown configuration item 'ieee80211n'<br>Line 408: unknown configuration item 'ht_capab'<br>2 errors found in configuration file './hostapd.conf'<br>
<br>Moreover, if I do hostapd -v; I still get the same result: hostapd v0.6.10<br><br><br>CAN SOMEBODY SUGGEST ME HOW TO INCLUDE ht_capab IN HOSTAPD AND WHICH VERSION OF HOSTAPD WOULD ALLOW ME TO DO SO?<br><br>---<br>Thanks,<br>
