hostapd - wifi AP daemon

<< < (2/5) > >>

curaga:
Well, http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/UserDocs/ath5kAccessPoint claims it's only supported from .31 onwards. See if using the compat-wireless extension (wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore_mod.tcz) instead of the normal one helps.

hi there
Im trying to setup hostpad using old mini pci, I'm on amd geode 233 with 128MB ram..alix old board
I cant find hostpad.tcz for Linux box 4.2.9-tinycore version 7.2, so I coppied the tcz for v8 and with .dep file

load it and its working manually

--- Code: ---sudo hostapd -B /usr/local/etc/config/hostapd.conf
tc@box:~$ ps | grep hostapd
 1013 root     hostapd /usr/local/etc/config/hostapd.conf
--- End code ---

Problem is when I want to run it automatically


--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ cat /opt/bootlocal.sh
#!/bin/sh
 
sudo hostapd -B /usr/local/etc/config/hostapd.conf
/usr/local/etc/init.d/openssh start &
--- End code ---

It wont autostart, dmesg show no info about hostapd
I obviously missing something...any clue ?

and I cant connect to hostapd AP yet
with open (no security) ..playing with it now..

thanks

/opt/bootlocal.sh is already run by root, remove the "sudo" from the file and reboot.

curaga:
..and if it still fails, look in its log file. You may need to enable syslog for the logs to appear.

aris:
Hi @polikuo
I used sudo because the non sudo is not starting hostapd..but sudo doesnt start it also

Here is the log...still no hostapd running
