I've added 'INTERFACES=wlan0' to /etc/conf.d/hostapd, created the /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 link, and added the following to /etc/conf.d/net: modules_wlan0=( "!iwconfig" "!wpa_supplicant" ) config_wlan0="192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255" When I start hostapd it tries to start net.wlan0 but I get "WARNING: net.wlan0 has started, but is inactive" and hostapd won't start. If I don't add the INTERFACES line and start hostapd and then net.wlan0, hostapd starts but has no IP address and net.wlan0 gives me the same "inactive" error. I know I've had this working several times before but I always have a hard time remembering how I did it. I've definitely never disabled iwconfig and wpa_supplicant before. - Grant
