 |
|
Hi
I am trying to set up home AP using wpa_supplicant+madwifi ... where exactly am i suppose to specify (in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf) that the card should be set to master mode?
Using iwconfig based setup ATM and it works but i would really like to get that wpa_supplicant thingie working. Example configs are most welcome ... otherwise its trial and error i guess  .
Regards
Milos |

Hi!
I think there's no need to set the master mode anywhere. Hostapd should take care of this.
EDIT: Sorry, actually madwifi-tools is taking care of this. You have to put this in /etc/udev/rules.d/65-madwifi.rules:
| Code: | | KERNEL=="wifi[0-9]*", DRIVER=="ath_pci", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/sbin/wlanconfig ath create wlandev %k wlanmode ap" |
The thing is, you have to use the latest versions of hostapd and wpa_supplicant and not to forget enabling the madwifi USE flag before emerging.
I also think wpa_supplicant isn't to be configured on the AP side, at least, I think I haven't done anything like this and my AP works just fine.
So here are my config files:
/etc/conf.d/hostapd
| Code: | INTERFACES="ath0"
CONFIGS="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
OPTIONS="-B" |
/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
| Code: | ##### hostapd configuration file ##############################################
bridge=br0 #Comment this out if you iface isn't bridged
interface=ath0
driver=madwifi
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=2
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=2
debug=0
dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=0
ssid=my_SSID
macaddr_acl=1
accept_mac_file=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.accept
deny_mac_file=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.deny
auth_algs=3
eap_server=0
own_ip_addr=192.168.1.1
wpa=3
wpa_psk=my_key
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP |
Of course you'll have to set the IP adress for ath0 in /etc/conf.d/net. I hope I haven't forgotten anything.
Oh and it's good to take a look at this HOWTO.
Let me know if you have any problems.
Have fun! |
