Hello hostap-list!
I am using hostapd in connection with madwifi-0.9.4 and I am seeing the
problem, that I cannot hide my ssid. See my hostapd.conf below:
interface=ath0
driver=madwifi
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=-1
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=-1
dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=0
ssid=test123
channel=60
hw_mode=a
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=1
ap_max_inactivity=3000
ieee8021x=1
eapol_version=2
eap_reauth_period=0
wpa=2
#check_crl=1
own_ip_addr=127.0.0.1
auth_server_addr=127.0.0.1
auth_server_port=1812
auth_server_shared_secret=00000000
acct_server_addr=127.0.0.1
acct_server_port=1813
acct_server_shared_secret=00000000
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
wpa_pairwise=CCMP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
wpa_group_rekey=0
wpa_strict_rekey=0
Although I am using "ignore_broadcast_ssid=1", the SSID still appears in
the beacons and the AP answers to broadcast SSID-requests. I tested with
hostapd-0.6.9 and the hostap-06.git -version from Febuary 2nd, 2010. Any
suggestions what I am doing wrong?
Kind regards,
Dennis
