Package: hostapd Version: 1:0.5.0-1 Severity: important -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Hi, after upgrading hostapd to version 0.5.0-1 it failed with the following message: Starting advanced IEEE 802.11 management: hostapdioctl[unknown???]: Operation not supported ioctl[unknown???]: Operation not supported rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory ...failed. I am using the madwifi drivers (from madwifi-source) and I guess the change from madwifi to madwifi-ng headers is the cause of this failure * Update madwifi headers to madwifi-ng, rev1390. I have tried to use the madwifi-ng modules generated from the experimental madwifi-ng-source package (from Kanotix) and then hostapd starts working again. But after this upgrade my wireless network was dropping connections :-(. Could you restore the headers to the madwifi headers, so hostapd can be used again with the madwifi-source package included in Debian? (Best would be the support of both though with an additional driver=madwifi-ng) Greetings Arjan Oosting Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf madwifi_set_iface_flags: dev_up=0 Using interface ath0 with hwaddr 00:04:e2:ff:c4:d5 and ssid 'arriesoft' madwifi_set_ieee8021x: enabled=1 madwifi_configure_wpa: group key cipher=1 madwifi_configure_wpa: pairwise key ciphers=0x2 madwifi_configure_wpa: key management algorithms=0x2 madwifi_configure_wpa: rsn capabilities=0x0 madwifi_configure_wpa: enable WPA= 0x1 madwifi_set_iface_flags: dev_up=1 madwifi_set_key: alg=TKIP addr=00:00:00:00:00:00 key_idx=1 ioctl[unknown???]: Operation not supported madwifi_set_privacy: enabled=1 Flushing old station entries madwifi_sta_deauth: addr=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff reason_code=3 ioctl[unknown???]: Operation not supported Could not connect to kernel driver.
