Everything seems to work great with wired Ethernet devices. this is what I do : - I have configured an AP (with hostapd), and it works perfectly (beacons were sent) - ifconfig wlanx down - ifconfig wlanx up after the ifconfig up, the wlanx does not send any beacons although clients are perfectly able to associate with (WPA-SUPPLICANT does an active scan). Have you ever encounter such issue ? Thanks in advance, -- VONCKEN Cédric ACKSYS R&D dept
