  • How to create multiple ssid's….???

  • Hi! When I run hostapd /root/hostapd.conf it says "could not configure driver mode" And some other fail messages and at the end says "hostapd_free_hapd_data: interface wlan0 wasn't started….

    What I'm doing wrong?

  • Dude, how r u? R u okay? In gnome you can create access point through gnome settings.

  • can i ask for your script because i want to try it

  • Do I still need the dnsmasq.conf if I already have both DHCP and DNS server running in ubuntu??

  • This does not work for me. I cannot get the hostapd to start running. It says there is a driver issue, but I have the proper driver and it also supports AP.

    v@v-m:~$ sudo hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
    Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
    nl80211: Could not configure driver mode
    nl80211: deinit ifname=wlp2s0 disabled_11b_rates=0
    nl80211 driver initialization failed.
    wlp2s0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED
    wlp2s0: AP-DISABLED
    wlp2s0: CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING
    hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlp2s0 wasn't started

    v@v-m:~$ sudo iw list | grep "Supported interface modes" -A 8
    [sudo] password for v:
    Supported interface modes:
    * IBSS
    * managed
    * AP
    * AP/VLAN
