Greetings, |

I am following this guide... |

http://gentoo-wiki.com/Madwifi_Wireless_Access_Point |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
...to setup my gentoo system as a wireless access point. I have it all |
| 8 |
setup and everthing is working, however, when I boot up my gentoo system |
| 9 |
it says... |
| 10 |
|

|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Bringing up interface ath0 |
| 14 |
starting wpa_supplicant on ath0 |
| 15 |
ioctl[SIOCSIWMODE]: invalid argument |
| 16 |
Could not configure driver to use managed mode |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Starting wpa_cli on ath0... |
| 19 |
Backgrounding |
| 20 |
WARNING:net.ath0 has started, but is inactive |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|

|
| 24 |
I think something must be configured the wrong way. How do I fix this? I |
| 25 |
think I want "master mode" not "managed mode" |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I think this problem may have to do with the fact I am using baselayout |
| 28 |
2.0.0 but am not totally sure. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
What does "ioctl[SIOCSIWMODE]: invalid argument" mean? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
What does "inactive" mean? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Again, everything is working so this isn't a major problem but I would |
| 35 |
still like to fix it. |
| 36 |

Thanks |
