Thanks a lot for this info. The bridge was missing. I don't understand why it is necessary for a successful authentication, but now it works (even with the ath9k card and driver).
So, my options now look like this: WIFI_ENABLE="yes" WIFIMODS="ath9k" AP0="wlan0:MY SSID:11:br1:wpa2:My Password:rekey,g" BRIDGE1="eth1 eth2 ap0" INTIF=br1 Btw. do I see that correctly that there is no way to restart the hostap daemon from the gui except by rebooting the system? (Well for my tests I used the cli..) Thanks again for the great help! Michael P.S.: I might have found a bug in the firewall gui. Will open another threat for this. P.P.S.: The mDNS problem I described is still there. I don't understand at all why it doesn't work but I found a workaround in the HP drivers to not use mDNS.
