Hi,

I've also found this on P1020wlan.
It looks like it is caused by libnl-tiny (maybe in combination with linux 3.3), as it issues syscalls the let the kernel reject with EALREADYINUSE and debug prints "cannot setup genlink support (mgmt)" (once debug verbosity is increased in .config). Can be fixed by upgrading libnl to 3.2.7 (most recent) and editing hostapd to use libnl instead of libnl-tiny.

http://git.fem.tu-ilmenau.de/?p=fem-wlan.git;a=commit;h=57747d0656e73f67adb8e0d501e381e33850be89

(you only need the changes to the package directory).

Regards,
 M. Braun

Yeah in 3.3 the mon.wlan0 i/f is not being setup but I didn't
investigate further.

Your confirmation rules out cerowrt's setup (with device renaming,
etc), so that
reduces it to hostapd, nl, wireless-next, or the 3.3 kernel,
sometime in the last 150 commits. sigh.

I confirm there's no mon device being created.

Go looking for a newer hostapd? bisect?

root@OpenWrt:/lib/wifi# wifi start

Configuration file: /var/run/hostapd-phy0.conf
nl80211: Failed to set interface sw00 into AP mode
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
Failed to start hostapd for phy0

Configuration file: /var/run/hostapd-phy1.conf
nl80211: Failed to set interface sw10 into AP mode
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
Failed to start hostapd for phy1

The only other thing I see going wrong is this:

[17308.449218] gw01: Trigger new scan to find an IBSS to join
[17309.289062] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): gw01: link becomes ready
[17315.261718 [5]] gw11: Trigger new scan to find an IBSS to join
[17316.726562 [6]] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): gw11: link becomes
ready
[17382.464843] ath: Failed to stop TX DMA, queues=0x004!

I just managed to rather quickly build iw-3.4 and am about to go
looking at hostapd...

:me flails:

Another symptom is that adhoc interfaces are created but do not get
ssids assigned. I can assign them manually, however...
