1 Hi,
2
3 shocked from over 1000 lines of configurational stuff in
4 wpa_supplicant.conf I have manovered to this point
5
6 The USB Wifi-dongle now is a TP-LINK WN722N with Atheros chipset AR9271 802.11n
7 (thanks for the hint!) which driver is by far easier to compile and
8 use as the hassle with this other one...
9
10 I started /etc/init.d/hostapd manually and the /etc/init.d/net.wlan0
11 and got this here
12
13 Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
14 rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device [ ok ]
15 * Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
16 * Backgrounding ... ...
17 * WARNING: net.wlan0 has started, but is inactive

20 I am confused by this...especially by "rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device...[OK]".
21 It's feeling like: "Unexpected ERROR: SUCCESS"

23
24 What is the above text is trying to tell me?

27 Thank you very much in advance for any help!
28 Best regards,

35 PS:
36 Is there any stripped down version of wpa_supplicant.conf
37 for AP use? Sawing that reminds me a little at manually configuring
38 sendmail....
