Hmm, when I have my /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules empty and load all the mac80211/cfg80211/ath5k modules, then "ifconfig -a" shows me that I have a "wlan0" interface.
Do you rename this into "ath0" somehow? This could be the problem. hostapd creates a second interface, in monitor mode (for me it's named "mon.wlan0"). If a bogus udev rules wants to rename with to "ath0" as well, that won't work. Now I have linux-wireless GIT and hostapd via GIT. I copied defconfig to .config and enabled CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211=y. I create a minimal config file for hostapd: ---------------------------- interface=wlan0 driver=nl80211 ssid=test hw_mode=g channel=1 ---------------------------- And now I simply run "./hostapd test.conf" If I run it with two "-d", I get this ----------------------------- Configuration file: test.conf nl80211: Add own interface ifindex 35 nl80211: Add own interface ifindex 38 BSS count 1, BSSID mask 00:00:00:00:00:00 (0 bits) nl80211: Added 802.11b mode based on 802.11g information Allowed channel: mode=1 chan=1 freq=2412 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=1 chan=2 freq=2417 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=1 chan=3 freq=2422 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=1 chan=4 freq=2427 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=1 chan=5 freq=2432 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=1 chan=6 freq=2437 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=1 chan=7 freq=2442 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=1 chan=8 freq=2447 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=1 chan=9 freq=2452 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=1 chan=10 freq=2457 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=1 chan=11 freq=2462 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=1 chan=12 freq=2467 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=1 chan=13 freq=2472 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=0 chan=1 freq=2412 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=0 chan=2 freq=2417 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=0 chan=3 freq=2422 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=0 chan=4 freq=2427 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=0 chan=5 freq=2432 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=0 chan=6 freq=2437 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=0 chan=7 freq=2442 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=0 chan=8 freq=2447 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=0 chan=9 freq=2452 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=0 chan=10 freq=2457 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=0 chan=11 freq=2462 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=0 chan=12 freq=2467 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm Allowed channel: mode=0 chan=13 freq=2472 MHz max_tx_power=20 dBm RATE[0] rate=10 flags=0x2 RATE[1] rate=20 flags=0x6 RATE[2] rate=55 flags=0x6 RATE[3] rate=110 flags=0x6 RATE[4] rate=60 flags=0x0 RATE[5] rate=90 flags=0x0 RATE[6] rate=120 flags=0x0 RATE[7] rate=180 flags=0x0 RATE[8] rate=240 flags=0x0 RATE[9] rate=360 flags=0x0 RATE[10] rate=480 flags=0x0 RATE[11] rate=540 flags=0x0 Completing interface initialization Mode: IEEE 802.11g Channel: 1 Frequency: 2412 MHz Flushing old station entries Deauthenticate all stations nl_set_encr: ifindex=35 alg=0 addr=(nil) key_idx=0 set_tx=1 seq_len=0 key_len=0 nl_set_encr: ifindex=35 alg=0 addr=(nil) key_idx=1 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0 nl_set_encr: ifindex=35 alg=0 addr=(nil) key_idx=2 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0 nl_set_encr: ifindex=35 alg=0 addr=(nil) key_idx=3 set_tx=0 seq_len=0 key_len=0 Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 00:20:a6:61:15:c0 and ssid 'test' nl80211: Set beacon (beacon_set=0) wlan0: Setup of interface done.
