I have not forgotten about this issue, but I have relatively little news.
In branch v5.2.2.4 using the nl80211 driver interface, the control_ap script creates an AP that is issuing beacons, but no STA (at least not my phone) can connect.
In branch master, the script runs OK, but I see no beacons. I will continue to work on the issue.
At some point in time this was working for me. However I have problems reconstructing the involved kernel and driver versions.
I wonder if there is something I can sensibly do here to bring this topic forward.
Hello,
it might be a PEBKAC problem, but I stare at my work for quite some time and don't see the problem.
I installed 775137f273ed on an i.MX25 running Linux 5.15. It can operate the wifi stick in STA mode (i.e.
iwlist wlan0 scan
sees the wifi networks available nearby), but when starting hostapd, I get:The hostapd config file content is based on the stuff the
control_ap
script uses. (However I droppeddriver=
which makes me doubt ifcontrol_ap
is a good source to copy from).Up to now I didn't look into the driver code, so cannot say where the -19 (= ENODEV) comes from. Any debug hints are appreciated.
Thanks
