Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: According to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k, AP mode is "reported to work, we just need some further tests on all cards to be sure". I just tried it with 2.6.30 kernel with this card: 00:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212/AR5213 Multiprotocol MAC/baseband processor (rev 01) And it doesn't work: 1245188059.756414: Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd-wlan0.conf 1245188059.766698: nl80211: Add own interface ifindex 6 1245188059.768470: nl80211: Add own interface ifindex 5 1245188059.770822: nl80211: Failed to set interface 5 to mode 3: -122 (Operation not supported) 1245188059.772627: nl80211: Failed to set interface wlan1 into AP mode 1245188059.774811: nl80211 driver initialization failed. 1245188059.776564: wlan1: Unable to setup interface. 1245188059.778342: Flushing old station entries 1245188059.780055: Deauthenticate all stations rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=3 eloop_data=0x47b860 user_data=0x47bda0 handler=0x43929c Is there anything more needed for ath5k to work (some external patches, git tree etc.)? I tested it on ASUS WL-500gP (BCM47XX mips platform). -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org
