Hello,
I'm trying to run hostapd as a standalone Radius server without any of
the wireless functionality.
/usr/src/external/bsd/wpa/dist/hostapd/hostapd.conf has the following:
# Driver interface type (hostap/wired/madwifi/test/none/nl80211/bsd);
# default: hostap). nl80211 is used with all Linux mac80211 drivers.
# Use driver=none if building hostapd as a standalone RADIUS server
that
does
# not control any wireless/wired driver.
# driver=hostap
But the only option for driver that doesn't cause hostapd to generate
an
error on startup is bsd, and you have to supply a physical interface
(not lo0) which stops working when you run hostapd.
I'm running NetBSD 6.1.5 on port-i386. As a test I'm running on a full
installation of NetBSD, but the target is an embedded appliance.
Is there a way to disable the wireless portion of things and still
have
a functioning radius server? Sorry if this is the wrong group. If so,
please let me know where I should send this to.
Thanks,
Jason M.
P.S. Please copy me on any replies, I'm not subscribed to
netbsd-users.
Thanks again!
Have you tried driver=test?

Yes, I tried them all. The only one that doesn't cause hostapd to exit
with an error is bsd.

And if I run hostapd with driver=bsd and my ethernet interface, I lose
my SSH connection and can no longer ping the interface. The machine is
still up and hostapd exits.
Thanks,
