That did help, thanks :) But it's not working completely yet:

When I start hostapd, it create a mon.wlan# interface and sets wlan#
into master mode, but other boxes don't see the network. Here's
hostapd's output:

Configuration file: .conf

Failed to set beacon head/tail
wlan1: Setup of interface done.

The only interesting part here seems to be "Failed to set beacon
head/tail", but I can't find anything helpful about that on google.

This is my hostapd config:

interface=wlan1
driver=nl80211
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=1
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=0
dump_file=/tmp/hostapd.dump
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=0
auth_algs=3
ssid=...
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=...
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP


Any new ideas? Sorry if my questions are stupid...
