But for my job I want to use it with freeRadius so i use hostapd deamon

Configuration file: eth1.conf
Opening raw packet socket for ifindex 4
ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX): No such device
prism54 driver initialization failed.
rmdir[ctrl_interface]: Bad address
and the config file eth1.conf :

interface=eth1
debug=3
dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump
#daemonize=1
ssid=Wifi linux AP
macaddr_acl=1
accept_mac_file=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.accept
