Hi

I am using the following conf file for running hostapd. I am using
mac80211_hwsim as driver.

interface=wlan0
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
driver=nl80211
ssid=abcd
hw_mode=a
channel=36

And getting the following error. Is it something related to regulatory
domain ? Or I am configuring wrong channel?

Could some one help me out ?

wlan0: IEEE 802.11 Configured channel (36) not found from the channel list
of current mode (2) IEEE 802.11a
wlan0: IEEE 802.11 Hardware does not support configured channel
Could not select hw_mode and channel. (-1)
wlan0: Unable to setup interface.
rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory
