Good day,
I trying create AP on my computer. But I have some problems.
Trying that instruction.
At the 4th point I belive I have to set mode Master on my card. But I had output:
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
Then I found this and this pages.
I understand that I have to install pacman -S hostapd and compile &install hostapd from source. Before compilation I had configure CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211=y.
I don't understand why? How can it can help me? I have same output at:
./hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf # compilled
and
hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf # from pacman
#Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 12:34:56:ff:ff:78 and ssid 'test'
I still don't see how can I set mode Master on my card. I have read somewere that I have to use iw command. Something like iw phy phy0 interface add wlan0 type ap, but it doesn't work.
Please, help me.
Thank you.
I'm an idiot. I had just all text. hostapd -B /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf is solution.
