ok, I removed net.wlan0 so it doesn't start up anymore. My computer booted up and all the services are working the way they should, however I am having a problem getting hostapd to start. Here is the error I get when I tried to start up hostapd... penguin ~ # /etc/init.d/hostapd start * Bringing up interface wlan0 * Configuring wireless network for wlan0 * Scanning for access points * no access points found * Failed to configure wireless for wlan0 * ERROR: net.wlan0 failed to start * ERROR: cannot start hostapd as net.wlan0 would not start It's suppose to be an access point, not scanning for one so do you have any idea what I should do now?
