Re: Re: Wireless AP setup: RTL8188CUS
Dear Pal, Dear Debian users, Did you able to find something with this problem? I have an RTL8192CU, but I'm not able to m make it work. It's working as a client, but not as an Access point. If I try to start hostapd with minimal config I got the following: *Could not open file /sys/class/net/wlan0/phy80211/name: No such file or directory* May I ask for some kind if tutorial if possible? Thanks in advance! Laszlo Kohari

Re: Wireless AP setup: RTL8188CUS
I missed the first part of this thread. Which chip does your wifi device contain? Your driver specification below doesn't look right. And bridging isn't necessary to set up an AP on one NIC and access to the internet from that via the second NIC. On 03/13/2014 08:31 PM Selim T.

I want to set it up on my headless Debian Wheezy server as a Wireless

I builded the custom kernel version 2.6.39.4-13 with module
rtl8192cu and reboot with this kernel. So the kernel part of the setup
is OK now.
I also have installed the firmware-realtek debian package which contains
the following among others:
Realtek RTL8192CU/RTL8188CU firmware (rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin)
I edited the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
and have the following line that determine the wlan0 interface:
# USB device 0x:0x (rtl8192cu)
SUBSYSTEM==net, ACTION==add, DRIVERS==?*, \
ATTR{address}==00:e0:4c:81:92:*, ATTR{dev_id} \
==0x0, ATTR{type}==1, KERNEL==wlan*, NAME=wlan0
The ATTR{address}==00:e0:4c:81:92:* option determine that that
whenever I plug in again this usb wifi adapter to the usb port, I get
always the wlan0 name for this interface. Here is the * character is
the relevant, because that part of the mac address changes always, when
one plug in the adapter again and again.

No, I think no.
Regardnig to the web page:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/hostapd
quote
All new mac80211 based drivers that implement AP functionality are
supported with hostapd's nl80211 driver.
/quote
so, I think I must to use the 'nl80211' nema for the driver in the
hostapd.conf file.
However, I'm still trying to set this to work. I'm trying to test
hostapd by using the file hostapd-minimal.conf:
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=test
channel=1
bridge=br0

and when I run the following command:

Could not set interface mon.wlan0 flags: No such device

but does'n lose the ssh connection anymore with Bubba Two. :)

Which drivername is walid? How can I find the proper drivername for my usb wireless network adapter? See above paragraph (based on the chipset from the FCCID) apropos of little what do you get from?:- $ mlocate rtl8192sfw Moreover, now, when I connect my usb wifi adapter to my Bubba 2, I get a new interface, the wlanN, where the N is a number, from 1 to 5 so far. That's as it should be I believe. How can I setup this, to always get the wlan0 name of the wifi interface? $ grep wlan /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules if it's there (I don't have one I can check at present) then edit the entry matching the correct MAC address and change it's name from wlanN to wlan0, then remove the other wlanN lines.
