$ sudo hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd-minimal.conf Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd-minimal.conf rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device Failed to update rate sets in kernel module Could not connect to kernel driver. and at this point I lose the ssh connection with Bubba. What can I do to solve this problem? I think I should buy another USB Wireless Adapter with Realtek RTL8187B chipset (802.11G) or the Atheros AR9170 chipset (802.11N).
