Multi-BSS support in 8.0 means that you first need to create a wlan
pseudo-device, and run hostapd with that. The rc.conf lines look like this:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap"
ifconfig_wlan0="ssid networkname media autoselect up"

Hello,
I just upgraded my access point (from 7.1 to 8.0) and can't make
hostapd work (looks like wide-dhcp relay also has a problem with ath0):
[mayumi]:/root# hostapd -P /var/run/hostapd.pid -dd /etc/hostapd.conf
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd.conf
Line 2: DEPRECATED: 'debug' configuration variable is not used anymore
ctrl_interface_group=0 (from group name 'wheel')
pcap_open_live:
ifname='ath0'
bsd driver initialization failed.
ath0: Unable to setup interface.
rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory
Exit 255
Output from dmesg:
ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xf4000000-0xf400ffff irq 3 at device 11.0 on pci0
ath0: [ITHREAD]
ath0: AR2413 mac 7.9 RF2413 phy 4.5
The interface seems to exist, but seems it lost some of its
functionality:
[mayumi]:/root# ifconfig ath0
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290
ether 00:11:95:e5:70:df
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect)
status: no carrier
[mayumi]:/root# ifconfig ath0 list cap
ifconfig: Don't know how to list cap for ath0
What's going on? The card worked pretty well with 7.1.
I tried to compile kernel just with "device ath_ar5212"
but I'm only getting this:
ah.o(.text+0x212): In function `ath_hal_rfprobe':
