Hi, I gave this another try. Did a purge, started everything from scratch. Exact same error. Now I tried to run hostapd in foreground mode, here is what I got with double debug output:
[...snip...] Driver does not support configured HT capability [DELAYED-BA] wlan0: Unable to setup interface. Flushing old station entries Deauthenticate all stations rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory nl80211: Remove interface ifindex=17 netlink: Operstate: linkmode=0, operstate=6 nl80211: Set mode ifindex 4 iftype 2 (STATION) Then I removed that HT capability, and it seems to work fine. This is a Sparklan WPEA-127N card, I would believe it is pretty advanced and should support these advanced features. I don't know who's at fault here, can you help me with that? And why did it cause an error now? A: it didn't support this feature before either, but it didn't cause an error in 0.7. B: this feature broke in 1.0. Best regards, József
