Hi,
I'm having problem trying to start hostapt on an Alix.2d3 board with an Atheros
wifi card (AR5213 chipset)
I'm able to turn the wifi interface into managed mode and I can see the unsecure
Access Point (canno't connect to it though). But when I try to start the hostapd
I always get the following message:
voyage:~# hostapd -dd -K -t /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX): No such device
madwifi driver initialization failed.
946687574.419793: ath0 : Unable to setup interface.

I tried to compile the newest version of the hostapd (0.6.8) but it didn't help
either. Some help would be appreciated
