Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hostapd
I use hostapd to control a wireless card in a home router/access point.
This setup was working in Maverick and has stopped in Natty. hostapd is
started as part of the preup process for my bridge between my internal
ethernet port and the wireless card. When I try and start the bridge
with wireless, hostapd prints this:
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
ctrl_inerface_group=0
Failed to create interface mon.wlan0.
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
wlan0: Unable to setup interface.
rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory
And the bridge fails to come up, when I remove all the setup for
wireless, (leaving only eth1 in the bridge) it works fine but I have no
wireless now.
