Description: user space IEEE 802.11 AP and IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP
Authenticator
Originally, hostapd was an optional user space component for Host AP
driver. It adds more features to the basic IEEE 802.11 management
included in the kernel driver: using external RADIUS authentication
server for MAC address based access control, IEEE 802.1X Authenticator
and dynamic WEP keying, RADIUS accounting, WPA/WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i/RSN)
Authenticator and dynamic TKIP/CCMP keying.
.
The current version includes support for other drivers, an integrated
EAP authenticator (i.e., allow full authentication without requiring
an external RADIUS authentication server), and RADIUS authentication
server for EAP authentication.
.
hostapd works with the following drivers:
.
* Host AP driver for Prism2/2.5/3,
* Prism54 driver for Intersil/Conexant Prism GT/Duette/Indigo,
* madwifi driver for cards based on Atheros chip set (ar521x),
* Any wired Ethernet driver for wired IEEE 802.1X authentication.
Installed hostapd and hostapd-modules-2.6.8-686. I am using a
SMC2835W-V2 wlan card. The prism54 driver from my 2.6.8 kernel works
fine. Linux scout 2.6.8 #1 Sun Jun 26 03:44:55 CEST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
The Problem: starting hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Message:
ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX): No such device
prism54 driver initialization failed.
rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory
strace hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf brings 128 lines. The ones that
took my attention was:
access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
googled, without success. The file does not exist anywhere an my system,
so I assume it has to be a symlink to somewhere. Any idea/help would
come handy. I am attaching the full
strace hostapd hostapd.conf>hostapd.log
thx daniel
