setting it to master works without complaints, it even comes with a
small app for windows on the OEM's CD that turn's it to a windows AP. at
least in theory, since the little app crashes windows before I can ever
test it :)
The problem is the following bit of hostapd.conf:
# Driver interface type (hostap/wired/madwifi/prism54; default: hostap)
# driver=hostap
from the README:
Current hardware/software requirements:
- drivers:
Host AP driver for Prism2/2.5/3.
(http://hostap.epitest.fi/)
Please note that station firmware version needs to be 1.7.0 or newer
to work in WPA mode.
madwifi driver for cards based on Atheros chip set (ar521x)
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/)
Please note that you will need to modify the hostapd Makefile
to use correct path for madwifi driver root directory
(CFLAGS += -I../head line in Makefile).
Prism54 driver for Intersil/Conexant Prism GT/Duette/Indigo
(http://www.prism54.org/)
and I'm wondering why should it be card specific, and what's in an AP
other than a small dhcp-like component?
