Alright, I have done everything you have suggested but when hostapd tries
to start I am getting this error...
penguin ~ # /etc/init.d/hostapd start
* Starting hostapd...
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Failed to set interface wlan0 to master mode.
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=5 eloop_data=0x80f1a38 user_data=(nil)
handler=0x8091790
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/hostapd'
[ !! ]
* ERROR: hostapd failed to start
Do you have any idea why this is happening?
