I followed instructions and my wifi AP is not autostarting when i tried to fix that with solution in the article this happened: `pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl start hostapd Job for hostapd.service failed because the control process exited with error cod e. See "systemctl status hostapd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. pi@raspberrypi:~ $ systemctl status hostapd service ● hostapd.service - Advanced IEEE 802.11 AP and IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP Authent Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/hostapd.service; enabled; vendor preset: Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2019-05-15 07 Process: 882 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/hostapd -P /run/hostapd.pid -B $DAEMON_OPTS $

I think that i have a solution! sudo hostapd -B /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

justkowal commented 5 years ago

nope it still does not work!

Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf nl80211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect commands nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0 nl80211 driver initialization failed. wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED wlan0: AP-DISABLED hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started

Do you know why it's saying nl80211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect commands? Are you using the Raspis internal WLAN?

From the looks of these lines,

nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0 nl80211 driver initialization failed. wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED wlan0: AP-DISABLED

It seems like you are using an external WiFi adapter like @Phoenix1747 was questioning. Wlan0 should be your Pi's internal WLAN. If you are using an external adapter, not all WiFi adapters will work. If you aren't using an external adapter, what does your hostapd.conf file look like?

Can you give me some more detail, @hopkuba?

Closing due to lack of detail. Please re-open if needed.
