Hi all I'm using Squeeze with 2.6.32-5-686 and I'm trying to configure my Thinkpad X61s to act as WLAN Access Point. It has an Intel 4965 chipset:
# lspci 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) I tried to follow this guide: http://agentoss.wordpress.com/2011/10/31/creating-a-wireless-access-point- with-debian-linux/ I installed the packages that are described in the guide but replaced with the appropriate firmware package: # apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi wireless-tools hostapd bridge-utils In my network there's a dhcp server on a different machine. My /etc/network/interfaces looks like this: http://pastebin.com/sgzZawKu And my /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf like this: http://pastebin.com/Gw7LGXRi Maybe the controller can't be used in master mode? Here's the output of # iw phy phy0 info http://pastebin.com/LCbYFghh It says on lines 20ff: Supported interface modes: * IBSS * managed * monitor As far as I understand this is a problem as there should also be master listed? Can you give me a hint on how to get this working? Thanks in advance Ramon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
