Is this a commercial development effort you're working on?

Thanks,

Well, to be honest I don't care about hostapd, I'd use something else if worked so if anyone knows another solution under Linux, don't hesitate to tell me.

OK, exactly the same problem, tested with 1x rt2500pci and 1x rt61pci card.
With rt61pci I have the "unknown vendor specific information element ignored (vendor OUI 00:10:18 len=9)" line, not with rt2500pci one, but other is same.

offtopic:
Also tested some Atheros and Broadcom cards with hostap, so if original poster is interested, I had most success (indoor, same room) with a Broadcom b43 card (minipci) - cca 1.3 MB/s (down to 600-700) while atheros 5212 was at 600-700 (but unreliable, down to 50), and atheros 5413 card did not work - but that was expected, see
https://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linu ... 064/thread
All this with: 2.6.28 + compat-wireless 26-12-2008 + hostapd git 26-12-2008 + libnl 1.1 + slackware 12.2

edit: b43 minipci on a minipci to pci adapter. those adapers usualy compensate for the pci 2.1 problem (no 3.3v) so that could be an even better solution than usb.

Hello,
I am having the same messages (error MGMT (TX callback) fail)
when working with the latest git hostapd and wireless-testing.

Is there anything new about it ? is it going to be fixed (I wish I could know from where to start in order to fix it , really).
Regards,
Mark

any news about this problem? Still the same?

Hello,
So any news ? I having the same troubles !

As far as I know there is somebody working on this issue, although I haven't heard from him since he started.

Looks like I still have this MGMT (TX callback) fail issue, and I'm using rt61pci.

On hostapd output, I receive several of these messages (and basically nothing else):


I've described everything I had done, step-by-step at my blog:
http://my.opera.com/CrazyTerabyte/blog/ ... nk-rt61pci

I still want to setup my desktop RaLink RT2561/RT61 PCI card as an access point. After I get it working working, I would also like to enable encryption.

Same problem here under wireless-testing (master-2009-08-25):

MGMT (TX callback) fail
mgmt::proberesp cb

I use the wireless-testing.git and the mastermode seems to be
broken since version v2.6.31-rc2
At the moment I use the wireless-testing.git version v2.6.31-rc1
and the mastermode works very well here.
So you could try to use wireless-testing and check out
the tag v2.6.31-rc1

I've just tried the tag "v2.6.31-rc1" from this repo:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kern ... rt2x00.git

The hostapd messages changed to these:

But still no luck in my laptop connecting to the wi-fi.

2 months after my previous attempt, I've tried again... And now master mode appears to be working! (needs more testing, though)

As before, I've described everything at my blog:

An special note to the last part of my blog post. I guess my previous attempt had failed because I had the CLIENT misconfigured. I can't really confirm this, but today I've noticed that I had some incorrect lines at wpa_supplicant.conf on my notebook, and these lines might have been the cause of failure.
