|
Hi,
Iam trying to build a minimalistic access point. (kernel+busybox+hostapd)
What I have working so far:
- kernel boot
- uclibc
- auto module loading (correct wifi module is loaded, with all dependencies)
- busybox
- eth0+bridge+udhcpc
- all hostapd dependencies
I tested the same usb stick on a full box and it works with hostapd as AP
I will use same hostap.conf file from working box.
However, after booting and starting hostapd the first error I get is
| Code: |
random: Trying to read entropy from /dev/random
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Line 8: DEPRECATED: 'debug' configuration variable is not used anymore
Line 10: DEPRECATED: 'dump_file' configuration variable is not used anymore

I wonder - there is no process keeping wlan0 busy - as the system does not have networkmanager etc.

do I need crda installed as a requirement, or can I skip this somehow??
edit:
I compiled the regdb into the kernel
| Code: | | CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB=y |
it solved all issues. looks like crda needs udev or something. |
