|
I want to set my laptop as wifi hotspot for my Android phone. I have installed hostapd and I have following configuration in /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf, | Code: | ssid=test
wpa_passphrase=secretpassword
interface=wlo1
bridge=br0
auth_algs=3
channel=7
driver=nl80211
hw_mode=g
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=2
max_num_sta=5
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
wpa=2
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP |
but hostpad.service just failed to start as I can see from this command, | Code: | # systemctl status hostapd
● hostapd.service - Hostapd IEEE 802.11 AP, IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP/RADIUS Authenticator

I have searched the web, and it says NetworkManager may make hostapd not work, but I do not use NetworkManager. What's more, whenever I start the hostapd.service, wlo1 goes from up to down. Could someone help me? |
