When I tried using a passphrase, I had the same connection issue you described. I then followed the instructions from this webpage, " https://ariandy1.wordpress.com/2013/04/18/wifi-access-point-with-tp-link-tl-wn722n-on-ubuntu-12-04/";, to download, configure and compile hostapd. The instructions are not beaglebone specific, but they worked for me. The newly compiled hostapd ran and allowed me to connect using a passphrase. > How are your hostapd.conf and /etc/network/interfaces configured?

I am using dnsmasq to hand out IP addresses. Here is the contents of my hostapd.conf file: interface=wlan1 country_code=US ctrl_interface=wlan1 ctrl_interface_group=0 ssid=testSetup hw_mode=g channel=11 wpa=3 wpa_passphrase=BeagleBoneRocks wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=TKIP rsn_pairwise=CCMP beacon_int=100 auth_algs=3 macaddr_acl=0 wmm_enabled=1 eap_reauth_period=360000000 Here is the section of the interfaces file for the AP interface: iface wlan1 inet static address 172.55.1.5 network 172.55.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 > Jeff > > > On Thursday, January 15, 2015 at 7:47:04 AM UTC-5, Frank Agius wrote: >> >> >> On Wednesday, January 14, 2015 at 5:16:51 PM UTC-5, AK@hobbyist wrote: >>> >>> Hi >>> >>> I am new to Beagleboen black and am trying to set up a WiFi hotpspot on >>> Beagleboe Black using the USB adapters with RTL8188CUS chipset.
