Hoping that I can possibly get a pointer on what I¹m doing wrong w/ ath10k
and hostapd.
I¹m running a 3.14 kernel and installed the 3.15-rc-1 backports. I can
start hostapd, but no matter what I do, I can¹t see the SSID. I have also
just tried to use N by itself.
I am using a WLE900V5-23 card.
The things that I¹ve noticed so far is that I am unable to use the v2
firmware additionally, even w/ the v1 firmware, I get a:
ath10k: Invalid firmware magic
Also, iw doesn¹t seem to report everything :
iw wlan0 info:
Interface wlan0
ifindex 3
type AP
wiphy 0
Here is some dmesg:
