Uplay installer user interface mode not supported
You will also want to do a survey of your area to find the channel that has the fewest other APs on it. Not all clients will support all of the methods you may want to implement, so a baseline configuration needs to be established. Then it means the hw_mode (a, b or g) in the config file is set to a value not supported by the hardware.īefore configuring hostapd, you need to know the capabilities of the clients that will be using it. Wlan0: IEEE 802.11 Hardware does not support configured mode (2)Ĭould not select hw_mode and channel. Hardware does not support configured mode

If it fails to start and gives errors about the driver not being found, review the steps listed above for compiling hostapd again.

If that starts as the example here shows, you can move on to configuring hostapd. Using interface wlan1 with hwaddr 00:0d:0b:cf:04:40 and ssid 'test' If all goes well and the compilation finishes, try the minimal hostapd again, see the section Using Your Distribution's hostapd above for that. You need to install/update libnl-1.0pre8 (or later). The basic configuration, with only this line uncommented, is enough to get hostapd up and running with WPA/WPA2 authentication and encryption.ĭriver_nl80211.c:21:31: warning: netlink/genl/genl.h: No such file or directoryĭriver_nl80211.c:22:33: warning: netlink/genl/family.h: No such file or directoryĭriver_nl80211.c:23:31: warning: netlink/genl/ctrl.h: No such file or directoryĭriver_nl80211.c:24:25: warning: netlink/msg.h: No such file or directoryĭriver_nl80211.c:25:26: warning: netlink/attr.h: No such file or directory Repeat for other settings that you may be interested in. Most of the other encryption types and features aren't needed for most applications, so if you're questioning if you need to enable it, you probably don't need to.Īnd uncomment it by removing the '#' sign. Also, there are other options that you may want to enable, like 802.11n support if your hardware can do it. config, and open it in your preferred text editor. Next, we need to configure the hostapd build to enable nl80211 driver support. Or you can get a stable release (0.6.8 or later recommended) by downloading the tarball from as follows: You can get the latest development version of hostapd from the git repository with: git clone git://w1.fi/srv/git/hostap.git Throughout this section, versions will be referred to by: x.y.zĮx: hostapd-0.6.8.tar.gz would be referred to as hostapd-x.y.z.tar.gz To compile on Fedora or other distributions that separate out the headers from the binaries, you need the libnl-devel package. Most distributions are shipping this or a later release by now. Using hostapd with nl80211 requires you to have at least libnl-1.0 pre8 as this release introduced genl, Generic Netlink, which nl80211 relies on.
