Hi All,
Can ath6kl support AP mode? If yes, how to config it? I tried a
simplest config, but can't find the AP.
I tried ath6kl driver in git://github.com/kvalo/ath6kl.git and the
standard kernel 3.3-rc3.
I am sure the HW is OK, wpa_supplicant works for me.
hostapd & wpa_supplicant is the latest version build form
git://w1.fi/srv/git/hostap.git,
hostapd -v
hostapd v1.0-rc2

Firmware is form linux-firmware, here is the kernel log:

Hi Kalle,
Thanks! My HW can work with the private Wifi driver(almost the same in
previous linux drivers\staging dir), both hostapd and wpasupplicant.
But I don't like that driver, if the new driver can work with hostapd,
I prefer switch to the new driver.
Take your time and take good care of yourself.
Best Regards!
Tony

I have used AP mode only with wpasupplicant, I haven't tried with
hostapd yet. I would guess that ath6kl works with hostapd as well but of
course there can be some issues.

Ah, firmware is a bit old but IIRC it still should support AP mode. But
I need to submit latest firmware to linux-firmware.git.

Sorry for taking so long to answer but I finally tested this myself.
With latest firmware 3.2.0.144 (which I submitted to linux-firmware.git
yesterday) and latest hostapd from git I can create a WPA-PSK network
using hostapd and my Nokia N900 succesfully connected to the network and
I was able to ping N900.
If this is not working for you I recommend updating to the latest firmware.

Kalle,
I tried again and it appears that sometimes (< 10 %) I can make
connections to the ath6kl in AP mode. Just to rule out any issues with
my configs & tools, I setup a cw1200 sdio using the same software
stack. The cw1200 is working fine for me in AP mode and the output of
hostapd is richer. Any clues from the ath6kl hostapd output?

Maybe it's a broadcast problem or something? Try with manual IPs and
then first run unicast ping separetely both from the client and the AP,
for example:
ping 192.168.5.1
If that works run broadcast ping separetely both from the client and the AP:
ping -b 192.168.1.255
Most likely you need to enable broadcast ping replies to get any answers:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts
And if MacOS doesn't support broadcast pings install a real operating
system ;)

That's strange. Does dmesg so anything? Are you sure that you are using
the correct version of ath6kl_sdio.ko and not some older version?
Also please enable full debug messages on hostapd and send a full log.

That might be challenging. I think it's easier if you add debug messages
and try to pinpoint where it is failing. For example
ath6kl_cfg80211_change_iface() is a good place to start debugging.

Just to clarify: I was running hostapd on my x86 box which has ar6003
and I used N900 as the client connecting to the x86 box.
I used ath6kl.git for my tests. I use compat-wireless very little (if
any) in my tests.

Good case.

I'm using the exact same configs for hostapd and udhcpd with the cw1200
without an issue. I'd like to try on x86.

What exactly happens when a connection fails? What client device are you
using?

cw1200 is a mac80211 driver and the interface to user space is different
compared to fullmac devices like ath6kl. That's why the log output is
different.

Is this from a failing case? From a quick look I don't see anything
wrong in the logs.
What are the symptoms when the connection fails? Did you check that this
isn't a higher level problem (wrong IP address etc)?

Kalle,
When you tried hostapd on the N900, did you use a kernel built from your
https://github.com/kvalo/ath6kl.git or from compat-wireless?
