Greetings, |

I am trying to setup a wireless access point using the atheros kernel |
| 4 |
driver (Built into the kernel, not as a module). I am using |
| 5 |
Vanilla-Sources 2.6.29.4. I need my wireless network card to start up in |
| 6 |
"master mode" but for some reason it is starting up in "managed mode". |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
When wlan0 starts up I get this error message... |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
* Bringing up interface wlan0 |
| 13 |
* configuring wireless network for wlan0 |
| 14 |
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : |
| 15 |
SET failed on device wlan0 ; invalid argument. |
| 16 |
* wlan0 connected to SSID "MyNetwork" |
| 17 |
* in managed mode (WEP Disabled) |
| 18 |
* null... [ ok ] |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
then when hostapd starts up I get this error message... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
* Starting hostapd... |
| 25 |
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf |
| 26 |

Here is my /etc/conf.d/net |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
config_eth0="69.196.152.151 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 69.196.152.255" |
| 39 |
config_eth1="null" |
| 40 |
config_wlan0="null" |
| 41 |
bridge_br0="eth1 wlan0" |
| 42 |
config_br0="192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255" |

| 44 |
mode_wlan0="master" |
| 45 |
essid_wlan0="MyNetwork" |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Here is my hostapd.conf |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
interface=wlan0 |
| 52 |

| 53 |

| 66 |
|
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
Anyone know how to change my wireless card to "master mode" and make it so |
| 69 |
I don't get those error messages? |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
Thanks |

P.S. I have everything working with madwifi and an older kernel so worst |
| 76 |
case scenario I stay with that configuration until I get this problem |
| 77 |
figured out. |
