Edit: changed out the card with an atheros one.


I am trying to get hostapd to work on the following wireless card. Using the 8812au driver from, http://gpo.zugaina.org/net-wireless/rtl8812au with these options.

truekaiser ... the first thing I notice is that this particular driver doesn't report it supporting 'AP/VLAN' and this would be needed for a monitor (use_monitor=1). I suspect this is why it reports that it can't set the channel. I might get a better idea if you pastebin'd the following:

Code:
hostapd -dtB /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

best ... khay

That's interesting because it says it supports Ap mode in that list and in supported RX frame types it has this.
Code:
* AP/VLAN: 0x00 0x20 0x40 0xa0 0xb0 0xc0 0xd0


I am just scratching my head because others have reported being able to set up AP's with this chip and i want to set up an AC ap.

I forgot to add.

Code:
config_enp1s0="dhcp"

#brctl_br0="setfd 0
#sethello 2
#stp on"

#bridge_br0="wlp0s16f1u2 enp1s0"

#config_enp1s0="null"
#config_wlp0s16f1u2="null" #address needed for hostapd

#config_br0="dhcp"

#rc_net_br0_need="net.enp1s0 net.wlp0s16f1u2"

#needed for hostapd
modules_wlp0s16f1u2="!iwconfig !wpa_supplicant"
config_wlp0s16f1u2="192.168.0.2/24"
channel_wlp0s16f1u2="1"
essid_wlp0s16f1u2="test"
mode_wlp0s16f1u2="master"


The ultimate goal here is to have the system act as a wireless access point to my existing router, not replace it. So I want it as a plain bridge to pass dhcp over to the connecting clients. As well as the system acting as a nas point.
Should i also post a kernel config? I configured it to this https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AC1200_Wireless_Adapters
