Ah ha! Yes, the default hostapd was working fine for me (except for timing of the init) when I had an open network. In my old kernel on a different SD card, I had previously compiled hostapd. Thanks for the link with straightforward instructions. hostapd is still having some difficulties finding wlan0 during boot, so I added a post-up to my /etc/network/interfaces. allow-hotplug wlan0 auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.4.1 network 192.168.4.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.4.255 post-up /usr/sbin/service hostapd restart All is good now! -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
