It is probably telling you that you have not configured rfkill in your kernel? $ grep RFKILL /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_RFKILL=m CONFIG_RFKILL_LEDS=y CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT=y # CONFIG_AMILO_RFKILL is not set # CONFIG_TOSHIBA_BT_RFKILL is not set This allows you to control the state of the hardware using any buttons for it on your laptop, or by running the command 'rfkill list/block/unblock DEVICE'. > PS: > Is there any stripped down version of wpa_supplicant.conf > for AP use?

For hostapd use this: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hostapd#802.11a.2Fn.2Fac_with_WPA2-PSK_and_CCMP For the client look at this: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wpa_supplicant#WPA2_with_wpa_supplicant -- Regards, Mick
