Subject: RTL8187 in master mode with hostapd
Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2012 17:11:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120727171137.4a1d1ce7@homerow> (raw)
Hi,
I own an Alfa AWUS036H network adapter using the rtl8187 driver on a
Debian box running kernel 3.5.0. I want to use it with hostapd, which
apparently requires master mode to be enabled in the driver.
The page http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/rtl8187 states:
not working yet: AP/Master mode
What means *yet*? Is it planned to add master mode support in the
near future? Do you have other suggestions what I could do to get
the driver to work together with hostap?
Disclaimer: I am not an expert in those things. I set up the access
point some years ago, then the network adapter started to function
unreliably. I then replaced it with a different one (the
abovementioned 036H) and didn't manage to get my setup running
again.
Best regards
Marco
