Bug#573048: hostapd incompatible with 2.6.33 kernel

I've encountered the exact same errors with Linux 2.6.33.1, and solved them by compiling the kernel with CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y (cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility). Probably this used to be tacit and now they've made it an option defaulting to no. This could arguably be better documented. Hope this helps, -- David A.

That's a problem that could be fixed, but I aint looked into it myself. Thanks for the extra info. Thanks, Kel.

Bug#573048: hostapd incompatible with 2.6.33 kernel
Hi everyone, I tried linux kernel 2.6.33 with hostapd both 0.6.9-3 and 0.6.10-1, and they don't work. So it's not restricted to 0.6.10-2. Regards, Lee -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
