Re: AP not visible?

Sorry, should have struggled on a bit more and paid more attention! The clue was in the dmesg output:

[   13.415241] usbcore: registered new interface driver r8188eu

This USB stick doesn't fully work out of the box, and needs the rtl871xdrv driver as detailed on [forum.piratebox.cc]

Once I'd configured hostapd.conf as follows:

[root@alarmpi ~]# cat /opt/piratebox/conf/hostapd.conf
interface=wlan0
driver=rtl871xdrv
ssid=PirateBox Share Freely
hw_mode=g
channel=1
auth_algs=1
ieee80211n=1

And rebooted it all sprung into life!

Thanks,
TOM
