Hi,

Just want to give a little more information abt what i am doing. Actually
i am running hostapd on two machines. On one i am generating the keys and
sending the key and mac addr to another machine. Then i give this key to
function,

"hostapd_set_encryption(struct hostapd_data *hapd, const char *alg, u8
*addr, int idx, u8 *key, size_t key_len)"

I am sending all the parameters from remote computer except "hapd" which
is already there. But i get the error from

static int
set80211priv(struct madwifi_driver_data *drv, int op, void *data, int len)

Which is called by "madwifi_set_key".

I can't understand, when is generated on the same machine i don't get the
error, but when i send it remotely i get an error.

Following are the debug messages:

It can be seen tht when i try to set key remotely i get the error, but
when generated on the same PC, its working fine.

Any idea why i am getting this error ???

I am using hostapd-0.4.9, with Linux 2.6.17-11 and madwifi-ng-r1968.

I tried hostapd-0.5.7 but am getting the same error as shown below.

-------------------
Number of bytes Received = 58
Function Code = 5
madwifi_set_key: alg=TKIP addr=00:00:00:00:00:00 key_idx=1

madwifi_set_key: Failed to set key (addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 key_idx 1 alg
'TKIP' key_len 32 txkey 0)
--------------------------


Can anyone help why can't i set the keys remotely. Why am i getting this
error when doing remotely??

Thank You
