rt2860 and kernel 2.6.37-5 = not working AP mode

Hi,

i have PCI card linksys WMP600N and on kernel 2.6.37-1 this card works great on AP mode. But after i upgrade to stable kernel 2.6.37-5, hostapd say:

nl80211: Failed to set interface wlan0 into AP mode
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=4 eloop_data=0xe46410 user_data=0xe46b40 handler=0x42dad0
ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=6 eloop_data=0xe49140 user_data=(nil) handler=0x436c00

lsmod | grep -i rt ... on kernel 2.6.37-1:

parport                30087  3 ppdev,lp,parport_pc
crc_ccitt               1347  2 rt2800lib,rt2860sta

On both configurations I dont have any extra modules configuration (not blacklisted any other rt2xx0 module). On kernel 2.6.37-5 i try blacklist "rt2800pci rt61pci rt2x00pci rt2800usb rt2800lib rt2x00usb rt2x00lib" but with the same results.

Have anyone solution of my problem?

Re: rt2860 and kernel 2.6.37-5 = not working AP mode

SOLVED - module rt2860sta must be on newest kernel blacklisted, then is used rt2x00 driver
