Hostapd problem

Tue May 12 07:51:02 PDT 2009

Hello everyone,

We are trying to setup hostapd as an access point using nl80211 and
mac80211. The network card is a RALink miniPCI  plugged in a Soekris
net4801 board. System is running Debian lenny (Linux net4801-1
2.6.29-rc3-wl #1 Mon Feb 9 18:38:10 EET 2009 i586 GNU/Linux) and we have
installed hostapd from GIT according to
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/AP-mode_Howto. Here's a
brief overview of system configuration (HW/SW):

a) Setting wlan0 (= network:3) and eth2 (= network:2) under a bridge in
/etc/network/interfaces:

auto br0
iface br0 inet static
        bridge_ports eth2 wlan0
        address 192.168.3.101
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.3.0
        broadcast 192.168.3.255
        gateway 192.168.3.1
        # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if
installed
        dns-nameservers 192.168.3.1
        dns-search private.uoa.gr

...and having wireless clients use a DHCP server for IP address
assignment (there is DHCP server running on the eth2 segment) result in
the following log:

uoa at net4801-1:~$ sudo modprobe -r rt61pci && sudo modprobe rt61pci

We appreciate all replies.
