Hello,

I have a problem when trying to start hostapd (as root) using the
following command:

hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

I get the error message:
nl80211: Could not add multicast membership for scan events: -2 (No
such file or directory) nl80211 driver initialization failed. The
error seem to originate from the function nl_get_multicast_id in the
hostapd source file driver_nl80211.c.

My hostapd.conf:
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=test

I have compiled 0.7.0 version of hostapd with defconf adding only the
nl80211 support.

Hardware is an Apple PowerPC Mac Mini with B4306 (rev3).

OS is Debian lenny with linux kernel 2.6.26.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Any pointers would be
greatly appreciated, maybe a short tutorial for the advanced user?

BR,
Daniel
