Hello Jim, There are 2 documents on the madwifi site that describes the hostapd setup: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/WPA_PSK_on_Both_Ends (the "Now do the AP side" part) and http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/HostAP
I followed the last document to setup hostapd on my atheros NIC. The hostapd should support all cards that are suported by madwifi AFAIK. This are the modules I have loaded: # Atheros wlan wlan_wep wlan_scan_ap wlan_tkip wlan_xauth ath_hal ath_rate_sample ath_pci autocreate=none I think you missed the wlan_tkip module. If you have an Atheros based NIC, you don't have to load the hostap modules. Eric > Trying to get wpa to work with the madwifi drivers.
