Hello,
After installing hostapd I can successfully connect to the AP, I can get DHCP
from it, but I cannot access the network through it (neither lan or internet).
This is an existing router box so iptables and everything else is already
properly configured.
I'm using this minimal config:
interface=wlp0s10
#driver=nl80211
hw_mode=g
channel=6
#ieee80211d=1
#country_code=FR
#ieee80211n=1
#wmm_enabled=1
ssid=LinuxAP
auth_algs=1
wpa=2
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
wpa_passphrase=hello linux ap
iw list shows the following supported modes:
* IBSS
* managed
* AP
* AP/VLAN
* monitor
The ebuild warns that in order for hostapd to work I need to set the card in
master mode (the wiki makes no mention of it). But when I try to do that
(either through the net init scripts or through iwconfig) I get the following
error:
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlp0s10 ; Invalid argument.
However after starting hostapd it appears that it was able to set the card to
master mode according to iwconfig:
wlp0s10 IEEE 802.11bg Mode:Master Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
So, is this card supported or not? Will I be able to connect and get dhcp from
the server if it didn't? Avahi also _sortof_ works. If I add the wifi card to
the deny-interfaces list on avahi-daemon.conf and try to ping the AP using the
avahi name the avahi daemon (on the AP) logs the following:
Received packet from invalid interface.
This is the output of rc-service hostapd start:
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Using interface wlp0s10 with hwaddr 00:14:a5:cb:4d:8a and ssid "LinuxAP"
wlp0s10: interface state UNINITIALIZED->ENABLED
wlp0s10: AP-ENABLED [ ok ]
Any suggestions?
