hostapd (0.4.9) stopped working today on my Gentoo server... |
| 2 |
|

daevid ~ # /etc/init.d/hostapd restart |

* Starting hostapd ... |
| 5 |
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf |
| 6 |
ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX): No such device |
| 7 |
hostap driver initialization failed. |

rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory |

This was all working fine yesterday. I had to reboot my server today, so |
| 11 |
no doubt that is related as something must have been updated. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I see this bug, but I don't think that's exactly my issue, while the |
| 14 |
error is the same, I don't have the problem he describes. |

Note, I don't have a wlan0ap, but that would come from hostapd I |
| 37 |
suspect, if it were starting. |

But the modules are loading... |

I don't use WEP or WPA. Just a standard wide open public WAP. Engenius |

Here's the most recent stuff that could have had an effect, I don't know |
| 49 |
the last time I rebooted the server, but I guess it was within this |

The last two entries are where I noticed wifi wasn't working tonight, so |

I tried to re-emerge it, but that didn't fix it. |
