Hi,
thanks for the replies but it is not working. I am using now hostapd
(net-wireless/hostapd-0.6.9)
My hostapd config is the following:
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
When I start hostapd the following message is being displayed:
* Caching service dependencies ...
* Can't find service 'net.ath0' needed by 'hostapd'; continuing... [ ok ]
net.ath0
* ERROR: Some services needed are missing. Run
* './hostapd broken' for a list of those
* services. hostapd was not started.
But I have no net.ath0. My wireless device is:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Should I create a symbolic links to net.lo that is named net.wlan0?
Thanks
Homer

Betreff: AW: ath5k - master mode - WLM54AG
Hi,
I am trying to create the master mode on my WLM54AG but it doean't work.
What I tried to to is:
iwconfig wlan0 mode master
and the error is:
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
What is the normal way of creating a master mode with the ath5k driver in the
kernel?
lspci -vv | grep -i ath
00:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5413 802.11abg NIC
(rev 01)
Subsystem: Atheros Communications Inc. EnGenius EMP-8602 (400mw) or
Compex WLM54AG (SuperAG)
Kernel driver in use: ath5k
dmesg | grep -i ath
ath5k 0000:00:0c.0: registered as 'phy0'
ath5k phy0: Atheros AR5414 chip found (MAC: 0xa5, PHY: 0x61)
Thanks
Homer

Betreff: ath5k - master mode - WLM54AG
Hi,
I am using the gentoo sources 2.6.30-r6. Is it possible to enable master mode
with the ath5k drivers in the kernel?
How can I enable it? Is it possible with iw or iwconfig?
Does someone use the ath5k in master mode? And with a hostapd config?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Homer
