Desperately need hostapd with madwifi support

Sorry to yell here again.
I am building my own Wifi Access Point with a Atheros pci card.
I have to have WPA support because WPE is unsecured.

I NEED hostapd !!

Attached is my PKGBUILD and CONFIG file. It builds OK, but gave me the following error when trying to access this access point from other laptop.

ath0: STA 00:90:4b:f1:ca:c7 IEEE 802.11: associated
ath0: STA 00:90:4b:f1:ca:c7 IEEE 802.11: disassociated
ioctl[IEEE80211_IOCTL_DELKEY]: No such file or directory
ioctl[IEEE80211_IOCTL_DELKEY]: No such file or directory
ioctl[IEEE80211_IOCTL_SETMLME]: No such file or directory
Could not set station 00:90:4b:f1:ca:c7 flags for kernel driver (errno=29).

I also tried to build with the latest 0.9.3.3 madwifi code downloaded directly from madwifi website instead the source code provided by Arch. It gave me similar errors.

Has anyone done this? HELP ME!

Re: Desperately need hostapd with madwifi support

Dear phabulosa,

I also doing same sort of things like you. Madwifi + Hostapd

I able to build the Madwifi Driver (madwifi-0.9.3.1) + Hostapd (hostapd-0.5.5).

After all, to run the hostapd daemon, the following file is missing,

/etc/init.d/hostapd restart

So, I don't know how to run it.
