Greetings,
I am following this guide...
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Madwifi_Wireless_Access_Point
...to setup my gentoo system as a wireless access point. I have it all
setup and everthing is working, however, when I boot up my gentoo system
it says...
Bringing up interface ath0
starting wpa_supplicant on ath0
ioctl[SIOCSIWMODE]: invalid argument
Could not configure driver to use managed mode
Starting wpa_cli on ath0...
Backgrounding
WARNING:net.ath0 has started, but is inactive
I think something must be configured the wrong way. How do I fix this? I
think I want "master mode" not "managed mode"
I think this problem may have to do with the fact I am using baselayout
2.0.0 but am not totally sure.
What does "ioctl[SIOCSIWMODE]: invalid argument" mean?
What does "inactive" mean?
Again, everything is working so this isn't a major problem but I would
still like to fix it.
Thanks
Jason
