hostapd and dnsmasq

[Jhonny Boy]

I fix the first error
and there is no error on line 180 if it is : auth_algs=1

I can now see my AP and connect me to it.
Is it normal for an open hotspot?

I'll try to configure iptables to share internet and have a good protection

hi,
it seems that you are using gentoo...
if I remember well,when I made this howto the hostap ebuild checked for
some headers in the kernel before enabling nl80211 driver...but now it's
enabled by default
which version of hostapd did you emerge?
(by the way I'm not an hostap expert...I just made it work on my router
and wrote this howto)
Denis.
