Package: hostapd
Version: 1:2.5-2+v2.4-3+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
I just upgraded a machine from jessie to stretch. With the stretch
version of hostapd, the deamon does not start:
# hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr f4:ec:38:c5:fd:94 and ssid "dino-wpa1"
Failed to set beacon parameters
Interface initialization failed
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED
wlan0: AP-DISABLED
wlan0: Unable to setup interface.
wlan0: interface state DISABLED->DISABLED
wlan0: AP-DISABLED
hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0_2 wasn't started
wlan0: AP-DISABLED
hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0_1 wasn't started
wlan0: AP-DISABLED
hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started
nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0
#
If I downgrade the hostapd package to the jessie version
(1:2.3-1+deb8u4), then it works perfectly:
# apt-get install --reinstall hostapd/jessie

[.. and then authentifications from client...]
So, it seems there is a major regression in the hostapd package.
Feel free to ask more information if required.
Note that the unstable version works. So I will mark this bug as fixed
for the 1:2.6-3 version as soon as I get its number
Regards
Vincent
