Hi Folks,
I have been experimenting with setting up my SL-6000 as an access point, since
I saw hostapd in the feed, and this is very interesting. I am plugging in a LinySys
WCF-12, which I am able to setup as wlan1 manually (using iwconfig and dhcpd)
to connect TO an access point. I am stuck though, when I try to use it with hostapd.
I get as far as:
# hostapd -d /etc/hostapd.conf
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd.conf
Opening raw packet socket for ifindex 6
Using interface wlan1 with hwaddr 00:06:25:24:8d:28 and ssid 'testap1'
Flushing old station entries
Deauthenticate all stations

MGMT
MGMT: BSSID=00:84:e1:ef:40:00 not our address
The hostapd process continues to run, but the light on the WCF-12 just blinks.
I'm new to hostapd and not sure if that MGMT message about the BSSID is
an error. I have experimented with many things, since I could not find much info
on the web, and I'm hoping that someone else in the forum has used hostapd
on pdaXrom, and can tell me what might be failing. I can't figure out where it
is getting that BSSID, nor where to specify one. Many thanks for any info!
EDIT: More info, from when I kill the hostapd daemon:
Signal 15 received - terminating
