support hostapd? #4

Closed darren closed 8 years ago

darren commented 8 years ago

any plans to support hostapd?

ulli-kroll commented 8 years ago

Hi, sorry for delay ...

I think hostapd must be supported, but the last time I test this by me self was about a year ago.

Currently I starting switch to lib80211 codebase.

brainstorm commented 8 years ago

@Darren, as fas as I've been poking in the hostapd codebase recently, once @ulli-kroll gets that lib80211 port done, the rest is relatively easy :)

brainstorm commented 8 years ago

@ulli-kroll if there's something you need help with so that I don't step on your shoes, happy to help.

My objective: getting 8812AU multi-BSS support for edimax ac1200.

I think your approach is sound, instead of hacking the old Realtek OUTSRC to get it in better shape.

ulli-kroll commented 8 years ago

Hi guys,

The newer RTL8821AU drivers use cfg80211 for STA/AP/Monitor management. The drawback is you can use only one interface type. Sometimes you must disable Network Manager to get Monitor Mode working. See here https://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=1086.0

I don't know if it's possible for https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au getting to multi BSS support. because this is complete waste of time. lib80211 is the only solution.

For the help :: I think this is difficult, normally I'm 20~60 commits ahead master and I have no time to teach other people.

brainstorm commented 8 years ago

Oh, well, that's unfortunate and I agree lib80211 is the best/cleanest solution ;)

I have some understanding of cfg/nl80211 already, I just wished your 20~60 commits were earlier on master to catchup without fixing/duplicating work:

@brainstorm Are your kernel headers missing ?? Or is your kernel build system not in proper state ??

I can (cross)compile this driver on several machines without errors.

For development itself : Currently I'm cleaning rtl8821au/. Next step will be integrate missing part for RTL8813AU hardware (only #defines) After this the development on master will stop and I will begin switching to rtlwifi.

brainstorm commented 8 years ago

Not really, I can successfully build rtl8812au (which is not from your repos but from @gnab).:

Hi,

so I've done a build test with v3.16 kernels. It will not build and I don't care

Currently I'm transferring my code base against rtlwifi-lib. They will be only smaller fixes to test with the current code base (wireless-ext) So master will get fewer changes.

I can't push out my dev-tree until my transfer is complete build tested and don't crash any machine. tough.
