Hello everyone,
This is driving me nuts... In the past, I had my rt61pci card set up as an access point. Now I can't seem to get it configured again that way. Can someone help?
I use dnsmasq 2.55 and hostapd 0.6.10. I'm running kernel 2.6.35.14 on Debian.
This is my /etc/network/interfaces:
Code:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.24.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.24.0
post-up /bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
post-up /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
pre-down /sbin/iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
This is my hostapd.conf:
Code:
interface=wlan0

logger_syslog_level=0
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=0

Dnsmasq is set up to listen on wlan0 and serve range 192.168.24.100 to 192.168.24.150 with leases of 12h. (But I don't feel dnsmasq is the problem here - I suspect that the problem is before the dhcp request.)
My iwconfig reports everything ok:
Code:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg Mode:Master Frequency:2.462 GHz Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B
Power Management:off
mon.wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg Mode:Monitor Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B
Power Management:off
I run hostapd in a console, like so: hostapd -K -dd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf. It gives me:
Code:

My laptop (running Ubuntu) should now be able to connect to my access point. It does see the access point! But it can not connect to it... :S
This is what tail -f /var/log/kern.log gives me:

What is this?? Hostapd doesn't show any output. That's why I post here - I suspect the driver. Can anybody help me? It's driving me nuts, because I know it should work... It did before!
