Let me know what you need. I think these changes should be enough: ------------------------------- 32.3.5.3. WPA Host-based Access Point hostapd_enable=3D"YES" -> ifconfig_wlan0=3D"HOSTAP" 32.3.5.3.1. WPA-PSK /etc/hostapd.conf -> /etc/hostapd-wlan0.conf ctrl_interface=3D/var/run/hostapd -> = ctrl_interface=3D/var/run/hostapd-wlan0 # service hostapd forcestart -> # service netif wlan0 forcestart=20 ------------------------------- Thanks, -- Rui Paulo
