Hi Todd, I unblocked with rfkill and I am a step further: The SSID is shown on my tablet together with a boobastic signal strength (no wonder: distance is below 30 cm...;) BUT: No connect...: I start hostapd by hand since wpa_supplicant seems to be hardcoded somewhere... Now I got this (stderr of hostapd) wlan0: interface state COUNTRY_UPDATE->ENABLED wlan0: AP-ENABLED wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd IEEE 802.11: authenticated wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1) wlan0: AP-STA-CONNECTED ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd RADIUS: starting accounting session 55B7C32D-00000000 wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd WPA: pairwise key handshake completed (RSN) wlan0: AP-STA-DISCONNECTED ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd IEEE 802.11: disassociated wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE) wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd IEEE 802.11: authenticated wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1) wlan0: AP-STA-CONNECTED ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd RADIUS: starting accounting session 55B7C32D-00000001 wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd WPA: pairwise key handshake completed (RSN) wlan0: AP-STA-DISCONNECTED ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd IEEE 802.11: disassociated wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE) wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd IEEE 802.11: authenticated wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1) wlan0: AP-STA-CONNECTED ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd RADIUS: starting accounting session 55B7C32D-00000002 wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd WPA: pairwise key handshake completed (RSN) wlan0: AP-STA-DISCONNECTED ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd IEEE 802.11: disassociated wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE) wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd IEEE 802.11: authenticated wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 1) wlan0: AP-STA-CONNECTED ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd RADIUS: starting accounting session 55B7C32D-00000003 wlan0: STA ac:9e:17:e7:c7:bd WPA: pairwise key handshake completed (RSN) What's happening here...? I am sure, it is a layer 8 failure.... ;) (me) Best regards, Meino
