Hi Eric,
I am sorry for the delay. Since Sunday, I runs hostapd.lrp you sent me with
madwifi and it is great, no problem so far. I just do not know why I do not
see messages dumped to the dumpfile as I specified in the config file (see
below), only to daemon.log, but other than that it is OK.
I am busy with other work so I cannot test the current hostapd package in
the latest 2.3 ISO CD, but like you said, it should work too. Can anybody
from the list confirm that?
Just want to thank you again for all your help.
------------
What I am using now are:
- madwifi modules from 2.3 ISO, i.e. old codebase from madwifi
- hostapd you sent me (0.4.5-2)
- wireless 28pre10 which I compiled myself. The one in ISO is 28pre8
There is no need to include hostapd.o module in /etc/modules like you said.
I run hostapd as 'hostapd -B -dd /etc/hostapd/madwifi.conf', and the config
file looks like the following
#### START of /etc/hostapd/madwifi.conf
#
interface=ath0
driver=madwifi
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=2
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=2

#### END of /etc/hostapd/madwifi.conf

Hi,
I compiled the latest Debian unstable version of hostapd (0.4.5-2) with
madwifi support, I have attached it to this mail. You may give it a try
when you don't succeed with the stable version.
Eric
