Hello,
I was trying to use my intel wireless device as an AP. I used hostapd (1.1).
It seem to be that i couldn't able to get it working.
My hostapd config:
interface=wlp3s0
driver=nl80211
country_code=US
ieee80211d=1
ssid=testhostapd
channel=1
hw_mode=g
auth_algs=1
wpa=3
wpa_passphrase=mypassword
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
I have got the following output when i run hostapd -ddd hostapd.conf
random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random
Configuration file: 1

Seems that the setting of channel is failing
and i tried with iwconfig wlp3s0 channel 6. It says

What could be the possible mistake?

I am using a laptop, so it won't work out for me. Does this version
you are talking
is about the firmware? If so changing it might help out?

Think about it. I can tell you from my experience: This is less of a hassle.
> Does this version you are talking is about the firmware?
Oh yes. Sorry. I must have dropped the "firmware" while editing.
It should have said: "Well, the latest firmware version I found..."
> If so changing it might help out?
If you can find/get a firmware version for the device which supports it:
"probably yes". You can check if a firmware supports the mode by loading
iwlwifi/iwldvm driver and use the iw tool [0].
# iw list
This will produce a list of all capabilities of each (available) wifi
device in the system. Among the print out there's an entry called
"Supported interface modes". It should look something like this:
Supported interface modes:
* managed
* AP <---
* AP/VLAN <---
* ...
(This is from a IWL 7260).
Good luck while scanning through intel's firmware repository
(sorry, can't help you there).
Regards,
Christian

Are you using hostapd v2.0? If so, there seems to be a bug that breaks *ALL*
nl80211 configurations. I reported it, but so far there is no response.
Switching back to v1.1 of hostapd worked for me.

Well, The latest version I found for the IWL 1000 was/is v39.31.5.1 Build
35138. It looks like this version doesn't "support" AP or P2P mode... and
it looks like it won't be coming.
You probably want to look for a replacement card. However, if you are using
a laptop, this might be difficult. Some vendor bios' have a wifi whitelist
and you have to ask your laptop vendor for the list first or "get creative".
Regards,
Christian
you shoud set frepue in the hostapd.conf
just add channel=6 ok
and lost of things can immplient in the hostapd.conf
if you keep on use iwconfig command to set frequecny
the above all things should complited by iwconfrig ,or when you run
hostapd and the hostapd will choose the default channel (channel 1)for
the wireless driver
