I had a working hostapd file and a functioning wifi hotspot (device is busybox, iMX6 board). While the hotspot was up and running, I was doing manual routing connected to the device via ssh (I'm able to connect this device via another device's access point, I first connect to the access point using my PC and then ssh into the aforementioned device). However, during my last command, ssh got stuck, hence I decided to power cycle.
After the power cycle, the previous commands (which used to work everytime, even after power cycles) does not work anymore. Here is how I normally would setup the hotspot.
First I would create a virtual interface from wlan0, which is active on startup.
iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan0_ap2 type managed addr 12:34:56:78:ab:ce
wlan0 interface is also what allows me to ssh into this device. wlan0 is connected to wlan0-ap of another board. My PC is also connected to wlan0-ap network. After ssh'ing into the device, I would start hostapd config like so:
hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd_build_ap.conf
After that, hotstop would be detectable and connectable by external devices. I do not normally setup a dhcp server, static IP is okay for me.
Here is the hostapd_build_ap.conf file:
interface=wlan0_ap2
#bridge=br0
ssid=myhotspot
driver=nl80211
country_code=US
hw_mode=g
channel=10
max_num_sta=5
wpa=2
auth_algs=1
wpa_passphrase=ABABABABAB
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
After certain routings are done via "route add ..."
I would normally be able to use both devices as access points connected to each other. Yet, after my last routing, like said, ssh got inresponsive and I had to power cycle. (There is no other way of accessing the device at the moment)
Now, when I try to start hostapd, I get this:

Could it be that hostapd got corrupted during power cycle? What could be the cause of this?
Does the problem start here?

I had a working hostapd file and a functioning wifi hotspot (device is busybox, iMX6 board). While the hotspot was up and running, I was doing manual routing connected to the device via ssh (I'm able to connect this device via another device's access point, I first connect to the access point using my PC and then ssh into the aforementioned device). However, during my last command, ssh got stuck, hence I decided to power cycle.
After the power cycle, the previous commands (which used to work everytime, even after power cycles) does not work anymore. Here is how I normally would setup the hotspot.
First I would create a virtual interface from wlan0, which is active on startup.
iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan0_ap2 type managed addr 12:34:56:78:ab:ce
wlan0 interface is also what allows me to ssh into this device. wlan0 is connected to wlan0-ap of another board. My PC is also connected to wlan0-ap network. After ssh'ing into the device, I would start hostapd config like so:
hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd_build_ap.conf
After that, hotstop would be detectable and connectable by external devices. I do not normally setup a dhcp server, static IP is okay for me.
Here is the hostapd_build_ap.conf file:
interface=wlan0_ap2
#bridge=br0
ssid=myhotspot
driver=nl80211
country_code=US
hw_mode=g
channel=10
max_num_sta=5
wpa=2
auth_algs=1
wpa_passphrase=ABABABABAB
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
After certain routings are done via "route add ..."
I would normally be able to use both devices as access points connected to each other. Yet, after my last routing, like said, ssh got inresponsive and I had to power cycle. (There is no other way of accessing the device at the moment)
Now, when I try to start hostapd, I get this:

Could it be that hostapd got corrupted during power cycle? What could be the cause of this?
Does the problem start here?

linux-networking iproute2 hostapd iproute
add a comment |
I had a working hostapd file and a functioning wifi hotspot (device is busybox, iMX6 board). While the hotspot was up and running, I was doing manual routing connected to the device via ssh (I'm able to connect this device via another device's access point, I first connect to the access point using my PC and then ssh into the aforementioned device). However, during my last command, ssh got stuck, hence I decided to power cycle.
After the power cycle, the previous commands (which used to work everytime, even after power cycles) does not work anymore. Here is how I normally would setup the hotspot.
First I would create a virtual interface from wlan0, which is active on startup.
iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan0_ap2 type managed addr 12:34:56:78:ab:ce
wlan0 interface is also what allows me to ssh into this device. wlan0 is connected to wlan0-ap of another board. My PC is also connected to wlan0-ap network. After ssh'ing into the device, I would start hostapd config like so:
hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd_build_ap.conf
After that, hotstop would be detectable and connectable by external devices. I do not normally setup a dhcp server, static IP is okay for me.
Here is the hostapd_build_ap.conf file:
interface=wlan0_ap2
#bridge=br0
ssid=myhotspot
driver=nl80211
country_code=US
hw_mode=g
channel=10
max_num_sta=5
wpa=2
auth_algs=1
wpa_passphrase=ABABABABAB
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
After certain routings are done via "route add ..."
I would normally be able to use both devices as access points connected to each other. Yet, after my last routing, like said, ssh got inresponsive and I had to power cycle. (There is no other way of accessing the device at the moment)
Now, when I try to start hostapd, I get this:

While the hotspot was up and running, I was doing manual routing connected to the device via ssh (I'm able to connect this device via another device's access point, I first connect to the access point using my PC and then ssh into the aforementioned device). However, during my last command, ssh got stuck, hence I decided to power cycle.
After the power cycle, the previous commands (which used to work everytime, even after power cycles) does not work anymore. Here is how I normally would setup the hotspot.
First I would create a virtual interface from wlan0, which is active on startup.
iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan0_ap2 type managed addr 12:34:56:78:ab:ce
wlan0 interface is also what allows me to ssh into this device. wlan0 is connected to wlan0-ap of another board. My PC is also connected to wlan0-ap network. After ssh'ing into the device, I would start hostapd config like so:
hostapd -dd /etc/hostapd_build_ap.conf
After that, hotstop would be detectable and connectable by external devices. I do not normally setup a dhcp server, static IP is okay for me.
Here is the hostapd_build_ap.conf file:
interface=wlan0_ap2
#bridge=br0
ssid=myhotspot
driver=nl80211
country_code=US
hw_mode=g
channel=10
max_num_sta=5
wpa=2
auth_algs=1
wpa_passphrase=ABABABABAB
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
After certain routings are done via "route add ..."
I would normally be able to use both devices as access points connected to each other. Yet, after my last routing, like said, ssh got inresponsive and I had to power cycle. (There is no other way of accessing the device at the moment)
Now, when I try to start hostapd, I get this:

Okay I got the solution,
Since this device has
valid interface combinations:
* # managed <= 2048, # AP <= 8, # P2P-client, P2P-GO <= 1,
total <= 2048, #channels <= 1, STA/AP BI must match
Specifically,
#channels <= 1
AP and wlan0 must share the same channel.
I checked the channel of wlan0 using
iw wlan0 info
And turns out it switched to channel 11. So, configuring the hostapd file accordingly solved the problem.

Okay I got the solution,
Since this device has
valid interface combinations:
* # managed <= 2048, # AP <= 8, # P2P-client, P2P-GO <= 1,
total <= 2048, #channels <= 1, STA/AP BI must match
Specifically,
#channels <= 1
AP and wlan0 must share the same channel.
I checked the channel of wlan0 using
iw wlan0 info
And turns out it switched to channel 11. So, configuring the hostapd file accordingly solved the problem.
