I'm trying to set up ath5k in master mode. I get this from the hostapd ebuild:
* In order to use hostapd you need to set up your wireless card * for master mode in /etc/conf.d/net and then start * /etc/init.d/hostapd. * * Example configuration: * * config_wlan0=( "192.168.1.1/24" ) * channel_wlan0="6" * essid_wlan0="test" * mode_wlan0="master" But doing that I get: ath0 does not support setting the mode to "master" and madwifi IRC says: "you can't use iwconfig to set master mode you need to do that with hostapd" Does anyone know how to reconcile this? - Grant
