Hej,
I read the posting in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.voyage.general/5543/match=master+hostapd
and noticed the problem it's in /etc/network/interfaces,
i remove this line
up iwconfig wlan0 essid Bytewalla-Voyage4 mode Master
and change it become
hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.wlan0.conf or
hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf (doesn't matter, adjust it in
hostapd file
)
and the line
auto wlan0
is also should not appear there.
I can't make it run with that lines.
M
aybe the Voyage README file, "part
3.1 Network Interface"
should be changed?
This my configuration:
root@voyage:~#vi /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# mac80211-based drivers
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.3.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.3.255
hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
root@voyage:~#
vi /etc/default/hostapd
DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
DAEMON_OPTS="-dd"
RUN_DAEMON="yes"
Before when I did
/etc/init.d/hostapd restart, nothing happen, after it is changed, then it shows
something normal like this:
root@voyage:~# /etc/init.d/hostapd restart
Stopping advanced IEEE 802.11 management: hostapd.
Starting advanced IEEE 802.11 management: hostapd.
The rest procedure is same, and the AP is up with master mode. Thanks a bunch
for
Artie for correcting the network restart part, and I'm sorry for this trivia
question.

Dear ag,
Thank you for correcting.
I've followed that and rechecked the configuration again, but the wlan
interface is still in the managed mode

When you went to restart the network you used the wrong command. You wanted:
/etc/init.d/networking restart
That explains both the errors you saw and the fact that nothing had changed.

Sorry, the essid is as below:

# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.

up iwconfig wlan0 essid Voyage4 mode Master

Hej,
Not sure if have to start new thread, but I also have trouble set up AP with
master mode in Voyage 0.7.5. I've configured one in Voyage 0.7.0 following
what's in README file and it's running well, but when I try with Voyage 0.7.5
with the same procedure, I can't see my AP running. I still can't find any idea
what's missing or something wrong. This is the procedure and configuration that
I've done.

But When I do /etc/network/interfaces restart, it shows this error:

/etc/network/interfaces: line 3: auto: command not found

/etc/network/interfaces: line 30: netmask: command not found
/etc/network/interfaces: line 31: broadcast: command not found
/etc/network/interfaces: line 32: up: command not found
and in iwconfig, it still say may wlan0 is in "Managed" mode, even I have
configured it as "Master"
root@voyage:~# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

eth2 no wireless extensions.

I would helpful for any clue about this.

Hi ag,
What does it break? I used it everyday and my customer were using it without
problems.

The ath5k driver works pretty well for an access point on voyage 7.0 (2.6.32
kernel), with a couple of known bugs that don't seem to cause much trouble in
terms of functionality. In voyage 7.5 (2.6.38) it appears to be significantly
broken.
Is there a sweet spot somewhere in between? (a better kernel/module
combination) ...
Thanks!
