Package: hostapd Version: 1:0.5.5-3.1 Severity: important
I am having problems getting hostapd working with the current release version of the madwifi-ng drivers (0.9.2.1). My kernel is a custom built one based on the current 2.6.18 debian sources. It seems previous bugfixes should have remedied this issue, but I am getting very similar error messages. Specifically: Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf madwifi_set_privacy: enabled=0 Using interface ath1 with hwaddr 06:11:f5:86:26:00 and ssid 'testtest' madwifi_configure_wpa: group key cipher=1 madwifi_configure_wpa: pairwise key ciphers=0xa madwifi_configure_wpa: key management algorithms=0x2 madwifi_configure_wpa: rsn capabilities=0x0 madwifi_configure_wpa: enable WPA=0x3 madwifi_set_key: alg=TKIP addr=00:00:00:00:00:00 key_idx=1 madwifi_set_privacy: enabled=1 madwifi_sta_deauth: addr=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff reason_code=3 Could not connect to kernel driver. I've seen numerous postings on various mailing lists about this issue, and it seems the hostapd folk blame madwifi, and the madwifi folk blame hostapd. I haven't found a conclusive posting where the original reporters have confirmed a fix worked for them. In any case, it seems version 0.5.7 of hostapd is out, but hostap.epitest.fi appears to be down and I haven't been able to try it out instead. Maybe this version will fix some something... Let me know if there are other details I can provide to help. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages hostapd depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-4 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-23 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip hostapd recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
