Hi, did a working setup of hostapd using internal wifi key, but when i tried to modify it to make it work with an external dlink nwd 2105 (ralink 2800 chipset, ap mode supported) just using wlan1 instead of wlan0, I have a this error: hostapd: wlan1: STA 68:17:29:ab:de:ac IEEE 802.11: Could not add STA to kernel driver Can someone tell me if there's something to change in kernel config to make it works? Thanks
Do you have appropriate firmware for your external USB wi-fi dongle? Also could you share the steps you made to make internal wi-fi work with AP mode? Thanks!
These are my configuration files: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf: Code: interface=wlan0 driver=nl80211 ssid=myssid hw_mode=g channel=9 macaddr_acl=0 ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 auth_algs=1 wpa=3 wpa_passphrase=password wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP rsn_pairwise=CCMP /etc/default/hostapd Code: DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf" RUN_DAEMON="yes" Skipping DHCP and DNS configuration because it doesn't interfer with AP mode. Quite sure that wlan1 (ralink 2800 USB) was showing up correctly without using hostapd but I will check again to confirm there are no firmware problems.
Sorry for delay in response, but I confirm that firmware for my USB wifi dongle is present: Code: dmesg: usb 2-1.1: new high speed USB device number 4 using fsl-ehci ieee80211 phy1: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel_ht' Registered led device: rt2800usb-phy1::radio Registered led device: rt2800usb-phy1::assoc Registered led device: rt2800usb-phy1::quality ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan1: link is not ready and both wlan0 and wlan1 are present.
