I have installed and configured my wirelss network with MadWifi and wpa_supllicant. However it is unencrypted. What do I have to do to setup WPA encryption? I have followed this (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Building_a_Wireless_Access_Point#WPA_Encryption) but when I run...
hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf I get this... Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf madwifi_set_iface_flags: dev_up=0 Using interface ath0 with hwaddr 00:19:5b:80:f2:d8 and ssid 'CarsonNet' Flushing old station entries madwifi_sta_deauth: addr=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff reason_code=3 ioctl[unknown???]: Invalid argument Could not connect to kernel driver. Deauthenticate all stations rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory madwifi_set_privacy: enabled=0 madwifi_set_iface_flags: dev_up=0 When I run this... /etc/init.d/hostapd start I get this... * Starting hostapd ... Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf Using interface ath0 with hwaddr 00:19:5b:80:f2:d8 and ssid 'CarsonNet' Flushing old station entries ioctl[unknown???]: Invalid argument Could not connect to kernel driver. Deauthenticate all stations rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory [ !! ] So what does this mean? ioctl[unknown???]: Invalid argument I can't get hostapd to startup until this is fixed. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
