I just changed the interface file at
[code]
...
# WiFi - this should be my home WLAN
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.20.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
[/code]
...
Run the command:
# hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
and now wlan0 has a valid IP address:
mon.wlan0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr
00-E0-4C-81-92-93-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

Still can't see my SSID in the air.
Why?
