Hey folks,
I'm upgrading my asterisk server to new (old) hardware. OS is the latest
CentOS 5.3, and is running fine.
I want to add wireless to it, so I can be dead clever with wireless
mobiles / internal extensions, etc, but as usual this is where I fall
down!
I've got a D-link usb thingy which has a rt73 chipset in it. This works
fine until I try to put it into master mode, when I get the message
# iwconfig wlan0 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
Copious amounts of googling suggest that I need to run hostapd to extend
the available services to run in this mode. However, due to the large
amounts of development in other directons, including the serialmonkey
project, and ralink themselves, I am now completely confused.
Can anyone point me to a resource that explains what needs to be done,
preferably without compiling everything from source???
Cheers,
Steve
