Actually in Ubuntu the driver is cfg80211. what is the difference between nl80211? should i make it as cfg80211 in configuration file. here is the configuration file. I didnt see any nl80211 when i give dmesg
#interface interface=wlan1 # Select driver driver=cfg82011 # Set access point name ssid=myhotspot # Set access point harware mode to 802.11g hw_mode=g # Set WIFI channel (can be easily changed) channel=6 # Enable WPA2 only (1 for WPA, 2 for WPA2, 3 for WPA + WPA2) wpa=2 wpa_passphrase=mypassword Thanks --M.Nithin On Friday, August 1, 2014 11:55:58 AM UTC+5:30, Julian Calaby wrote: > > Hi Nithin, > > On Fri, Aug 1, 2014 at 4:10 PM, Nithin Chakravarthy > <[email protected] <javascript:>> wrote: > > my wifi chipset is ap6210.
