While I get excellent performance with it, any attempt to enable any of the HT capabilities flags in hostapd.conf causes hostapd to fail at start-up with, rmdir[ctrl_interface]: no such file or directory Any ideas what might cause such a failure? I'm fairly certain that this card should have no problem with HT. Further information included below. I will gladly try any patches people might want to check. Thanks, - Ben Device (lspci): 0b:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc.
